Cloud Eggs But Spiced Indian Style — The Viral Breakfast Gets a Desi Soul

Cloud Eggs: The Breakfast That Broke Instagram

Cloud eggs — whipped egg whites baked into fluffy clouds with the yolk nestled in the centre — went viral for their visual drama. Light, airy, beautiful. But plain. The Indian spiced version fixes that completely.

Phoran’s masala cloud eggs fold garam masala, Kashmiri chilli, and fresh coriander into the whipped whites before baking. The result is a breakfast that looks like a cloud and tastes like a dream.

A Note from Our Founder

"The first time I saw cloud eggs trending, I made them exactly as written. They were beautiful and completely bland. Then I added a pinch of garam masala and Kashmiri chilli to the whites before whipping. The colour turned a warm golden-red. The flavour became something worth eating. That’s the Phoran approach — never settle for beautiful when you can have beautiful and delicious." — Founder, Phoran Masala

Ingredients (serves 2):

• 4 eggs, whites and yolks separated
• 1/2 tsp buy Phoran Garam Masala online India
• 1/2 tsp buy Phoran Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder online India
• 2 tbsp fresh coriander, finely chopped
• 1 green chilli, finely chopped (optional)

• Salt to taste
• Butter for the tray

• Extra fresh coriander

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 230°C. Line a baking tray with parchment and butter lightly.

3. Gently fold in garam masala, Kashmiri chilli, fresh coriander, green chilli, and cheese. Do not overmix — keep the whites fluffy.
4. Spoon into 4 cloud mounds on the tray. Make a well in the centre of each with the back of a spoon.
5. Bake for 3 minutes until the whites are just set and lightly golden.
6. Carefully slide one yolk into each well. Season yolks with a pinch of salt.
7. Bake for another 3 minutes for a runny yolk, 4–5 minutes for set.
8. Dust with Phoran Jeeravan Masala and extra coriander. Serve immediately on toast or paratha.

Why the Spice Blend Works

Garam masala folded into whipped egg whites creates a warm, aromatic base that permeates every bite. Kashmiri chilli gives the clouds their golden-red hue — far more visually striking than plain white. The Jeeravan Masala finish adds a tangy, savoury punch that cuts through the richness of the yolk. This is the cloud egg that actually has a reason to exist.
