Ghee.................................................................................1 tsp
Turmeric Powder..........................................................    1/4 tsp

Method :

Heat oil in a pan and fry them till golden on low flame and remove.
In the same oil, add the bay leaves.
Add the onion paste, garlic-ginger paste, chilly paste and 1 tsp of ghee. Fry till oil separates. 
Add turmeric powder, red chilly powder, coriander powder, sugar and salt and stir fry with a dash of water.Water will prevent the spices from burning. 
Add the poppy paste . 
Also add the eggs, cover and cook on low flame.
When done remove to a serving dish. This dish doesn't have too much gravy. I feel it tastes better with duck eggs than with chicken eggs.....
