Ingredients

• 4 pieces eggs
• 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 small, finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon, grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 cup vegetable stock
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
• 4 slices, for serving bread or naan

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add curry powder, ground cumin, ground turmeric, and paprika. Stir for 30 seconds to toast the spices.

Step 5

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable stock. Stir to combine, then add salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Allow the curry sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and create small wells in the sauce using the back of a spoon.

Step 8

Carefully crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs poach in the curry sauce for 4-6 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 10

Serve the curried poached eggs hot with slices of bread or naan for dipping.
