Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 medium Onions Finely chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 2 Green Chilies Sliced
  • 2 medium Tomatoes Diced
  • 1 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1 tsp Red Chili Powder
  • to taste Salt & Black Pepper
  • 5 large Eggs
  • for garnish Fresh Coriander Chopped

Equipment

  • Frying Pan or Skillet (with lid)
  • Chef’s Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Wooden Spoon

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and aromatic.
  2. Step 2: Add the sliced green chilies and diced tomatoes into the pan.
  3. Step 3: Stir in the cumin powder, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until the tomatoes break down and form a rich, thick sauce.
  4. Step 4: Use a spoon to make 5 small pockets/indents in the tomato sauce. Gently crack one egg into each pocket, making sure to keep the yolks intact.
  5. Step 5: Cover the pan with a lid and simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set but the yolks are still beautifully runny.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh chopped coriander, and serve hot directly from the pan!
