If you’ve never heard of shakshuka, it’s a popular Middle Eastern dish where eggs are poached in a delicious tomato sauce. In my Indian version, I simmer the eggs in my tasty Indian onion masala sauce. This dish tastes like it takes ages to make, but really, it takes minutes, thanks to our handy pre-made onion masala. If you don’t know about the magic sauce that is onion masala, then check out my onion masala series where I share recipes that call for exact amounts of this masala. Indian shakshuka is the perfect meal for any time of day: breakfast, lunch, or dinner. In fact, I make onion masala sauce JUST for this dish because everyone in my family loves it. It’s my go-to recipe when I have zero time to cook. It tastes like an Indian egg curry but minus ALL the work and takes a fraction of the time.

(for the full recipe, see the recipe card below 😋) I actually have a more traditional version of shakshuka on my blog as it’s a dish I have been throwing together for years – often adapting it as I want to, depending on the time I have available and the ingredients I have on hand. It always turns out delicious no matter how many changes I make. You’d be surprised at how well tomatoes and eggs go together, especially if you’ve never had that combination before. You can cook the eggs to your liking. I prefer my eggs to be a bit soft in the middle, but if runny eggs are your thing, then go for it 🙂 Serve this dish with some warm naan (or paleo naan if you are gluten-free) and dip the bread into this spiced tomato sauce and slightly runny egg… it’s so good!
