Take cooked rice into a mixing bowl and  add turmeric powder, salt, red chilli powder (1 tsp only) and Pulav masala.

Mix gently using wooden spatula. Keep aside for 15 minutes so the rice could absorb all the flavors.

Take a wide vessel and put it on the flame. Add 3 tbsp oil and ghee. Add bay leaves, onions and green chillies. Fry them until they became soft.

Add ginger garlic paste and fry until the raw smell  is gone. Add salt and the remaining red chilli powder. Mix well.

Pour beaten eggs into the vessel. Do not disturb until the bottom layer of the egg sets slightly.

When it turns like an omelette, fold it to the middle and cut into pieces with spatula. Add marinated rice and keep mixing gently until rice perfectly blends with the egg masala.

Tips-
