Instructions

How to Make Indian Style Shakshuka:

1) Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

2) Add 1 medium onion (diced)  and cook for 5 - 8 minutes until translucent and lightly browned. 

PRO TIP: Covering the pan will help steam the onions and speed up the cooking process!

3) Add 1 tsp ginger garlic paste and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic.

4) Next, add 1 medium chopped red bell pepper and cook for 5-7 minutes.

5) Stir in 1 cup of canned tomato puree and mix well to combine. 

6) Add 1 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder, 1 tsp paprika powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp cumin powder, and 1 tsp salt. Mix until well combined.

7) Cook on medium heat for 10-15 minutes until the sauce starts to simmer.

8) Reduce the heat to low and continue simmering for 2 minutes.

9) Make 6 wells evenly spaced in the sauce using a spatula for the eggs to sit.

PRO TIP: Crack your eggs into a small bowl before placing them in the skillet to get a more even shape.

10) Place an egg into each well in the sauce.

11) Cover the skillet and allow the eggs to simmer in the sauce for 5 to 8 minutes until the whites are cooked and opaque but the yolks are still runny. 

PRO TIP: If you prefer the eggs well done, simmer for longer!

12) Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with Kasoori methi, red chili flakes, cilantro, and hot honey.

Enjoy!
