Clear the center like this and break the eggs in it.

Let the egg fry and harden

Note: When you are frying green and red chili slices the vapors from the pan or wok will irritate your nose and throat. If you cannot take it leave the chilies out.

If you cannot take spicy hot food, leave out the green and red chilies and chili powder. If you can take a little spicy food include the chili powder. This finished dish will not be that hot as we are adding some vegetables and eggs to extend the quantity.
