Bateta par Indu (Eggs over Chips)

This is an adaptation from Niloufer Ichiporia King's recipe of traditional Parsi cuisine.
Ingredients:
2 teaspoon olive oil
1 small onion chopped fine
5 cloves of garlic mashed up
1 inch piece of ginger - remove skin and mashed up
1/4 cup finely chopped coriander leaves
5 cups potato chips (get the regular -non flavoured but salted kind)
3 eggs
a few drops of water

Method:
  1. Heat the pan and add the oil, onions, ginger and garlic and saute till cooked but not brown.
  2. Add the coriander and stir.
  3. Add the chips- loosely crushing each cup as you add them.
  4. Stir and allow to saute for 1 minute.
  5. Make 3 nests in the potatoes.
  6. In each nest add 1 egg (sunny side up)
  7. Add a few drops of water along the edge of the pan to create steam.
  8. Immediately cover the top and allow the eggs to cook on MEDIUM-LOW.
  9. Cook until the eggs are done to your liking.
