Description
Shakshouka or shakshuka is an Arabian dish where eggs are poached in tomato sauce. Shakshouka is served with bread or pita bread.
Note
1) I used kashmiri chilli powder which gives intense color with very little heat.
2) To make tomato puree, make a cross at the bottom of the tomatoes. Add to boiling water and let it boil for5 minutes. Skin will start to peel. When cool, remove skin and cut and deseed. Blend to a smooth puree.
