Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon ghee or oil
  • 1 medium onion finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic grated
  • 1-inch piece ginger peeled and grated
  • 6 tablespoons tomato paste
  • ¾ cup water
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons Kashmiri red chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 eggs

To Garnish:

To Serve:

  • 1 tablespoon ghee
  • 6 mini naan

Instructions

  • Heat the ghee in a medium skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the onions and cook for 5 to 8 minutes until translucent and lightly browned. Covering the pan will help speed up cooking and soften the onions with the steam.
  • Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic.
  • Stir in the tomato paste and water and mix well to combine. Cook on medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce starts to bubble.
  • Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for additional 4 to 5 minutes or until the sauce is heated through.
  • Add Kashmiri red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, and salt and mix until well combined.
  • Reduce the heat to low and allow to simmer for 2 minutes or so.
  • Make 6 wells in the sauce using a spatula for the eggs.
  • Crack an egg into a separate bowl then place in the well. Repeat with the remaining 5 eggs.
  • Cover the skillet and allow the eggs to simmer in the sauce for 5 to 8 minutes until the whites and cooked and opaque but the yolks are still runny (if you prefer the yolks more cooked, simmer the eggs for longer).
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with Kasoori methi, red chili flakes, cilantro, and hot honey.

To Serve:

  • Heat a griddle over medium heat.
  • Brush the naan with ghee and place on the griddle to warm through on both sides for a couple of minutes.
  • Serve warm with the makhani shakshuka.

Notes

  • If you can't find Kashmiri red chili powder, use smoked or sweet paprika with a hint of cayenne pepper
