Description
This Paneer Shakshuka by Recipes are Simple is a brilliant fusion dish that brings an Indian soul to the classic North African breakfast. It is a hearty, one-pan vegetarian meal that is as vibrant to look at as it is to eat, featuring soft-set eggs nestled in a rich, deeply spiced tomato gravy. The addition of Paneer (Indian cottage cheese) and Cannellini beans, which turns a light brunch into a protein-packed, filling meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions
-
Heat the oil in a pan/skillet. Add the chopped onions and sauté briefly.
-
Next, add the ginger garlic paste and saute till the garlic is cooked.
-
Pour in the fresh/canned chopped tomato. Mash up a bit and bring to a simmer.
-
Cook briefly till the colour deepens and the sauce is bubbly.
-
Once the oil separates, add the Ras el Hanout spice mix and Dried mixed herbs. Measure and add half the quantity of these ingredients to begin with; you can add more later to suit your taste.
-
Add the cooked/canned Cannellini beans. Stir and allow it to cook along with the sauce for a minute or so.
-
Add the fresh Paneer to the sauce and add the chilli powder (optional) and about 1/2 cup of water. Simmer on low for about 5 minutes, till the paneer is tender and the sauce is thickened. Add salt to taste.
-
Make indents in the sauce, using a ladle, and crack an egg into each, gently.
-
Cover and simmer till eggs are soft-set. Just enough time for the whites to set, with a runny yolk.
-
Garnish with chopped coriander.
-
Serve with any kind of warm or toasty bread. Garlic bread or Naan is a wonderful match!

Note
- Ras el Hanout is a North African Spice mix with a wonderful earthy flavour. Here is the recipe for home-made Ras el Hanout. You can replace it with other spice mixes, such as Garam Masala, if you prefer. I recommend. trying the Ras el Hanout
- Instead of Paneer(Indian cottage cheese), you can add fresh Mozzarella. Just tear up the fresh Mozzarella into the sauce in place of Paneer. It works, since Fresh Mozzarella is non-melting. Unsalted is best.
- Ghormeh Sabzi is a Persian mixture of Dried Herbs. Dried Parsley, Leeks, Coriander and Fenugreek are used. You can use the individual dried herbs, about 1/2 tsp each or replace them with dried Parsley if that is all you have.
