ABOUT ShakShuka - Fusion Style RECIPE

Shakshuka is a popular Israeli breakfast, where the eggs are poached gently on a bed of onion-tomato gravy. All egg lovers will simply enjoy this simple delicacy. Bell peppers are generally added, but I added some potatoes instead. This is my version of this amazing dish with an Indian flavour - fusion style. Extremely yummy, it can be relished with any form of rice preparation or Indian bread.

Ingredients Serving: 3

3 onions, chopped
1 potato diced
2-3 tbsp. oil
1/2 tsp. cumin seeds
4-5 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tsp. ginger, chopped
2 green chilies, chopped
1-2 sprig curry leaves
4-5 eggs
salt to taste
pinch of nutmeg powder
1 tsp. coriander powder
1 tsp. cumin powder
1/2 tsp. pepper powder
1/2 tsp. red chili powder or to taste
1 cup tomato puree
1 tbsp. coriander leaves, chopped
2 tbsp. cheese, grated
1 tsp. red chili flakes

Instructions

Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a pan and fry the potatoes till they turn slightly soft. Drain and keep aside.
Heat remaining oil and temper with cumin seeds. After it stops spluttering, add the ginger, garlic, green chilies and nutmeg powder. Saute for a few seconds more.
Now add the onion, curry leaves and salt. Fry on a medium flame till light brown. Add all the powdered spices and mix well.
Add the tomato puree and the fried potatoes. Give it a stir and add 1/2 cup water. Simmer, covered till the gravy turns slightly thick and the oil floats on the top.
Now break the eggs in a separate bowl one by one and slide them over the prepared gravy. Sprinkle some salt over the yolks.
Cover again and cook on a medium flame for 2-3 minutes or till the yolks are set. Garnish with grated cheese, chili flakes and coriander leaves. Serve as a side dish with any form of rice or Indian bread.
