Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 medium Tomatoes, finely diced
• 1 cup Water
• 2 cups Frozen or fresh green peas
• 4 Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• 4 slices Crusty bread (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or shallow pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.

Step 4

Add the diced tomatoes to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have softened and broken down slightly.

Step 5

Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Stir in the green peas and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender and heated through. Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 7

Using a spoon, make four small wells in the pea mixture. Crack an egg into each well.

Step 8

Cover the pan with a lid and let the eggs cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny (or cooked to your desired doneness).

Step 9

Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro for garnish.

Step 10

Serve immediately with crusty bread on the side for dipping, if desired.
