Cut 8 slices of soft white bread into small bite-sized pieces and place in a bowl.

Break 7 small eggs into a big mixing bowl and add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper powder; whisk until light and fluffy.

Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a white kadai until hot.

Add 1 teaspoon of fennel seeds and a small piece of cinnamon; allow to sizzle.

Add 2 finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.

Add 1 teaspoon of freshly pounded ginger-garlic paste and 2 finely chopped green chilies; sauté until the raw smell goes away.

Add 3 medium-sized chopped tomatoes and cook until soft and mushy.

Add a handful of fresh curry leaves and mix.

Add 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon Kashmir red chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin powder, 2 teaspoons coriander powder, 1/2 teaspoon pepper powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon garam masala powder; mix thoroughly and cook with a splash of water.

Reduce the flame and add the bread pieces; gently mix until the bread soaks up the masala.

Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the bread and mix gently to coat.

Cook on low flame until the eggs are fully done and the masala clings to the bread.

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
