🥘 Indian-Style Shakshuka Recipe with Cheese A flavorful fusion of the classic Middle Eastern shakshuka and Indian spices — this version is buttery, aromatic, and full of comforting warmth. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner! 🌶️ Ingredients Butter – 1 tbsp Ghee – 1 tbsp Cumin seeds (jeera) – 1 tbsp Garlic – 1 tbsp, finely chopped or minced Tomatoes – 4, finely chopped Salt – to taste Black pepper – 1 tbsp Green chilli – 1, chopped (optional, adjust for spice level) Red chilli powder – 1 tbsp Turmeric powder (haldi) – ½ tbsp Garam masala – ½ tbsp Coriander powder (dhania powder) – ½ tbsp Maggi masala – ½ packet Sugar – a pinch (optional, to balance the tanginess) Water – a splash (to adjust consistency) Eggs – 4, poached or cracked directly into the sauce Cheese – as desired (grated mozzarella or processed cheese works well) 👩‍🍳 Instructions Sauté the base: In a pan, heat 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp ghee together. Once hot, add 1 tbsp cumin seeds and let them splutter until aromatic. Build the sauce: Add 1 tbsp garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Then add 4 chopped tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and green chili. Let this cook for 10 minutes on medium flame until tomatoes soften and release their juices. Add the spices: Stir in red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, coriander powder, and Maggi masala. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the masalas to blend and release their flavors. Balance and simmer: Add a pinch of sugar to mellow the tang of the tomatoes (optional). Pour in a little water to adjust the consistency, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes on low heat until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. Add the eggs: Make small wells in the sauce and gently add 4 poached eggs (or crack them directly into the sauce). Cover the pan and let it cook for 3–4 minutes on a slow flame — just enough for the eggs to set while keeping the yolks slightly soft. Finish with cheese: Sprinkle grated cheese on top, cover for a few seconds to let it melt, and then turn off the heat. 🍽️ Serving Suggestion Serve hot straight from the pan with: Toasted bread, garlic naan, or pita A sprinkle of fresh coriander or chilli flakes for garnish
