Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 Cup finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste or ketchup
  • 1/2 Cup canned tomato or grated tomato
  • 1 teaspoon garlic paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder (jeera powder)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt to taste
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon chopped coriander

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet or a heavy duty non-stick pan.

  2. 2

    Add chopped onion. Fry till they start caramelizing.

  3. 3

    Add the chopped bell pepper, garlic paste, tomato paste, grated tomato, salt, and spices. Fry for the next 5 minutes or till the oil starts separating from the masala.

  4. 4

    Using a spoon, make indentations, or “wells,” in the tomato mixture (make sure the indentations are spaced out). Gently crack an egg into each indention.

  5. 5

    Reduce the heat, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook on low heat until the egg whites are set. This does not take more than 5 minutes. You can bake it as well.

  6. 6

    Uncover, and add the fresh coriander leaves for garnish. 

  7. 7

    Serve Indian style shakshuka with the toasted bread slices.
