Add about a teaspoon of salt and a little over a teaspoon of black nigella seeds to the milk and whisk together.

Whisk in eggs one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated after each addition.

4

In a separate deep dish pan, spread a layer of butter or ghee on the bottom.

5

Pour a thin layer of the milk mixture into the deep dish pan to form the base.

6

Dip bread into the milk mixture, ensuring it is soaked, and layer it in the deep dish pan.

7

Continue layering with the milk mixture and bread until complete, finishing with a whole piece of pita on top.

8

Broil in the oven for a few minutes until the egg is fully cooked on top.
