What's Shakshuka? And How Do You Give It A Desi Twist?
In simple terms, shakshuka is a North African dish with poached eggs usually enjoyed at breakfast. The name basically means 'mixture,' where you saute tomatoes and onions with spices, then poach eggs on top. It's healthy, filling, and super easy to make, which is why it's become a hit in places like Israel, Libya, Morocco, and Turkey. It even made its way to Spain, where they often add their local sausage, Chorizo.
But here's where it gets interesting: we took the same onions, tomatoes, and eggs, and swapped out the African spices for our very own desi ones-think turmeric, coriander, red chili powder, and black pepper. And instead of regular oil, we used ghee for that extra flavor and nutrition. Sounds tasty, right? So what are you waiting for? Grab your chef's hat, crack open a couple of eggs, and head to the kitchen.
Why Is Desi Shakshuka A Healthy Choice?
As we mentioned earlier, eggs are a powerhouse of protein, minerals, vitamins, and other essential nutrients. And by adding ghee, you're boosting the dish with healthy fats and carbs that keep you going all day. Want to know more about the benefits of cooking with ghee? Click here.
