Poached Egg Curry / Shakshouka

Talking about poached egg they are just yummm to me.Aren't they ??? Call me crazy or whatever I Lovee Eggs...Just not that I do research on different recipes based with them too.While one of the researches I came across this Libyan recipe "Shakshouka". This is very much similar to Indian egg gravy but instead of boiled egg we add raw egg to pan & allow it to cook with the curry juices & steam.
This month I'm paired with " Saraswathi " of  "Saras's Kitchen" & guess what I found many yummy recipes in her menu which were tempting to give a try. Putting a stop to my tempt I came across " Broken egg curry " which was my favorite too.
I decided on blogging it & here it is.

Shakshouka with a Indian twist. 

Ingredients

2 Eggs 

1 Medium onion chopped 

2 Tomatoes cut in cubes

2 Green chilli's sliced

1 Garlic minced 

1 Tsp cumin powder

1 Tsp chilli powder

Corriander leaves finely chopped 

salt 

For a Indian twist I added a seasoning to the dish with... :) 

2 Tbs oil

1 Tsp mustard 

1 Tsp jeera 

1 Tsp channa dal 

1 Tsp Urad dal

Heat pan with oil add urad ,channa dal to pan & fry them till they turn light brown. Then add mustard & jeera to pan. Once mustard starts jumping add garlic, green chilli & onion to pan. Fry them till onion turns transparent. Then add tomato to pan with salt. Close pan with lid & allow tomato to cook. 

Once tomatoes are cooked add cumin powder & chilli powder along with 1/2 cup of water. Bring it to boil & break eggs directly in to pan.. Allow them to cook for 3 mins & switch off heat. Garnish it with coriander leaves & curry is ready to serve. 

* Serve with rice or roti... 

Note: 

1. If you want to you can cook them for some more time for a hard boiled yolk. 

2. Avoid adding green chilli's if you feel it's too spicy.
