These Indian baked eggs are basically my version of Sakshuka! I like baking this off after its been on the stove because I like the way the eggs set in the oven since I don’t like them super runny. The sauce reminds me  of a tomato based curry and tastes especially good soaked up by a soft and flaky naan or paratha! YUM!!

If you don’t want to go through the trouble of baking this or don’t have a pan that you are sure is oven safe, just place a lid on your skillet and wait until the eggs are set to your liking!

Enjoy & as always HAPPY EATING 🙂
