- Batter for frying eggs
- In a mixing bowl add 1/4 cup of maida, 1/4 cup of cornflour, 1/2 tbsp chili powder.
- Now add water little by little and mix well to form a semi-thick batter. ( I used 1/4 cup water + 2 tbsp of water )

- Then add 1 cup of finely chopped onions and cook until it turns translucent.
- Now add 1/2 cup of bell peppers/capsicum of any color and cook for a couple of minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare a cornflour paste. Mix 2 tsp cornflour & 1/4 cup of water well without forming any lumps & keep it aside.
- Now its time to add the sauces – 1 tbsp chili sauce, 2 tbsp tomato ketchup, & 1/2 tbsp soya sauce and mix well.
