How do you crack eggs on a tawa without running away?

My iron tawa looks like the following. It is a bit shallow in the center.

enter image description here

I pour some oil on the tawa and it gets collected in its center. Then I wait for it to get heated. After that I crack the egg with a blunt spoon and break it on the tawa with my both hands, and after that I run for my life.

The problem is that when the egg touches the tawa, the hot oil spills here and there, and due to that I have often burnt my wrists.

I have observed that the oil spilling problem occurs only when the oil is hot. If the oil is not hot it doesn't spill and also causes the egg to stick to the tawa.

Why do scrambled eggs stick to cast iron?

Why do my eggs keep sticking to the pan?

If your pan is too hot, your eggs will most definitely stick. If your pan is too cool, they will stick because they have been sitting in the pan too long. One way to tell if your pan is ready is the water drop method. Flick a few drops of water onto the pan.
