Long time back I visited a fair at a village in Murshidabad. There I saw a village woman behind a large tawa on a makeshift chulha. She was making something. I was curious and moved towards her. I saw she was making sandwiches.
I said to myself, what a big deal! Big deal it really was because she was making these sandwiches with poached egg and minimal ingredients. I watched her and the process noting it down in my brain. Back home, I made it for my kids who loved it immensely. Now they often want the same for breakfast.

Step 1: Take a tawa. Heat it. Put ½ tsp of oil. Spread it. Make one egg poach.
