Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or shallow pan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
Add the diced tomatoes to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have softened and broken down slightly.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a simmer.
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.
Using a spoon, make four small wells in the pea mixture. Crack an egg into each well.
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).
Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro for garnish.
Serve immediately with crusty bread on the side for dipping, if desired.
