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!
