Eggs in Spiced Tomato Curry

This is the sort of dish best enjoyed family-style, around your kitchen counter on a Sunday morning, or for dinner with friends on a Friday night. Of course, there are all sorts of versions of this dish: shakshukha, huevos rancheros or eggs in purgatory. My version—fragrant with cumin and sumac—is a reflection of my Pakistani-Persian spice pantry. The beauty of this dish is that it comes together very fast; you prepare the spiced tomato base, and then gently drop the eggs in to cook in a warm tomato bath. The result is these perfectly poached eggs in a jammy tomato curry. I made my dish with Conestoga’s Farms’ Organic Eggs .

KALI MIRCH CHICKEN KARAHI (BLACK PEPPER CHICKEN)

I am thrilled to share the recipe of this kali mirch chicken karahi. I first made this dish a couple of weeks ago, and both Saptarshi and I couldn’t believe how good it was. While not the most photogenic, this incredibly flavorful and moist karahi hit all the right taste notes. The recipe itself is pretty straight forward. I adapted it from the Salt’n Pepper Village Cookbook that I have enjoyed cooking from this past year (other recipes I have adapted from the book are lobia masala and beef keema ). While I had heard of kali mirch chicken karahi, and at some point in my life had it, this was the first time I made it and will definitely be cooking it regularly. Some notes about the recipe… WHAT MAKES THIS CHICKEN KARAHI DIFFERENT Unlike the traditional chicken karahi (a version of it here ), this one does not use any tomatoes. The flavor and moisture of the karahi comes from letting the chicken cook in ginger, onions and water for 25 minutes, and a generous helping of black pepper
