5) Stir in 1 cup of canned tomato puree and mix well to combine.

7) Cook on medium heat for 10-15 minutes until the sauce starts to simmer.
8) Reduce the heat to low and continue simmering for 2 minutes.
9) Make 6 wells evenly spaced in the sauce using a spatula for the eggs to sit.
PRO TIP: Crack your eggs into a small bowl before placing them in the skillet to get a more even shape.

PRO TIP: If you prefer the eggs well done, simmer for longer!
12) Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with Kasoori methi, red chili flakes, cilantro, and hot honey.
Enjoy!
