Aromatic Afghan Pan-fried Eggs Rice

Assemble the ingredients: eggs, bell pepper, onion, water, bay leaf, carrot, olive oil.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the eggs and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Afghan flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Afghan accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
