5 eggs(or ur choice)
salt
1 bay leaf
1 inch cinnamon stick
3 cloves

cook the rice with 2 to3 drops of oil and 1/3 sp salt.spread it n a plate n let it cool.
heat oil in a wide pan .add chopped onions .fry till brown .
add tomatoes n fry till oil comes out .

Meanwhile take mint,chillies,ginger garlic ,cinnamon,clove ,bay leaf and grind them to a fine paste.add this paste to the cooked tomatoes.saute it for 3 or 4 minutes.
add salt,chilli powder,garam masala...again check for salt n spice...

now take 1 egg n boil(save it for garnishing..it also goes well with rice)
