4. Prepare the Yogurt Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of yogurt and 2 tablespoons of flour until smooth.
- Pour the yogurt sauce evenly over the rice and vegetable mixture.
5. Cook the Eggs:
- Use a spoon to create four small wells in the rice mixture.
- Crack one egg into each well.
- Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs reach your desired doneness.
6. Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle with additional parsley and green onions for garnish.
- Serve hot, directly from the skillet. Enjoy!
