Introduction:

As someone who loves Indian cuisine and is always on the lookout for quick and easy recipes, I was excited to come across this Makhani Shakshuka recipe. Shakshuka is a traditional Middle Eastern dish that features eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce, but this Indian-style version takes things to the next level with a creamy and flavorful makhani sauce. In this article, I’ll share the recipe with you, along with some tips for making it perfectly and serving it alongside some delicious buttery naan.

Ingredients:

To make this Makhani Shakshuka, you’ll need:

• 2 tablespoons of ghee or vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds
• 1 chopped onion
• 1 chopped green chili
• 1 tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste
• 1 diced tomato
• 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon of paprika
• 1 teaspoon of garam masala
• Salt to taste
• 2 tablespoons of cream
• 4 eggs
• Chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions:

1. Start by heating up the ghee or oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

2. Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.

3. Add the onion and green chili and sauté until the onion is translucent.

4. Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another minute.

5. Add the diced tomato and cook until it has softened and released its juices.

6. Mix in the turmeric powder, paprika, garam masala, and salt to taste.

7. Pour in the cream and stir to combine.

8. Use a spoon to make four wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each one.

9. Cover the pan with a lid and let the eggs cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny (or until they reach your desired level of doneness).

10. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with naan.

Tips:

• Make sure you use a non-stick pan to prevent the eggs from sticking.
• If you don’t have ghee, you can use any neutral vegetable oil instead.
• For a spicier shakshuka, use more green chilies or add some red chili powder.
• Don’t overcook the eggs – they should still have runny yolks for maximum flavor.
