What is Shakshuka?

Shakshuka is a breakfast dish made in Israel and some parts of North Africa and Middle East. It is made by poaching eggs in a sauce made of onion, tomato, garlic, cumin, nutmeg and paprika.

It can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch or dinner.

I am sharing the no bake Shakshuka which is made in a pan on the stove top.

Serving Suggestions-

Serve this Indian Style Shakusha with toasted bread, pita bread, naan or cumin rice.

Expert Tips –

  • Saute the onion tills soft and translucent before adding the other ingredients. Well sautéed onions add so much flavor to the dish.
  • Do not skip the coconut milk, it adds just right amount of creaminess to the dish.
  • Toast the spices in the onion mixture before adding the tomato.
  • Let the sauce get little thick before adding the eggs.
  • Make a small well in the sauce, before adding the eggs. This helps the eggs stay intact.
  • To get the bright red color- use Kashmiri red chili powder

FAQs

How can I reheat Shakshuka?

Reheat the Shakusha on stove top with a closed lid in low flame.

How do I know if the egg is cooked?

Top of the egg should be opaque and when you jiggle the pan, the egg should not fall apart.

Can I use canned tomato?

Yes, canned tomato can be used. You may have to simmer it for longer to get thicker sauce.
