Step 1
First, boil the eggs. To get soft-boiled eggs, boil for 5–7 mins depending on the size of the egg. If you prefer hard-boiled eggs, cook them for 7–9 mins.
Immediately immerse them in cold water. This is especially important for soft-boiled eggs, to prevent the yolks from cooking further.
Spread 10 g of mayonnaise on each slice of bread. Chop the boiled egg and spread it over the bread.
Add salt and freshly crushed pepper.
Step 2
Chop onions and coriander, and sprinkle them over the eggs. Be careful not to overdo it, as we don't want to overwhelm the flavour of the eggs.
For a buttery golden crust, spread softened butter on the outside.
Heat an iron skillet or tawa. Place the buttered side down. Weigh down with another flat pan for even grilling.
After a minute, remove the flat pan and butter the second side. Flip the sandwich over, and grill the other side for 1 minute.
Serve hot, with ketchup and green chilli sauce.
