Featured Spices

Garam Masala - 80g tin

From Mita Mistry's brilliant food blog Saffron and Spice:

My hangover breakfast.. with a strong black coffee (or three), gently soothing me back to the real world.. Simple fried eggs on buttery naan, generously scattered with crispy fried onion, green chilli and a pinch of garam masala. The combination of rich egg yolks, chilli heat and warming spices saves me every time.. the perfect cure to get you feeling good again.

Serves 2

INGREDIENTS

4 large eggs

1 small red onion, sliced 

1 small hot green chilli, sliced 

A couple of pinches of garam masala

Salt to taste

1 large plain naan, quartered (or two smaller ones, halved) 

METHOD

First, put a little vegetable oil in a large frying pan and brown the sliced onion until golden. Remove the onion from the pan and keep aside until later. 

Now to fry the eggs. Add a little more oil if needed and crack the eggs into the pan. Let the edges of the eggs get crispy and lacey and the yolks runny.

Whilst the eggs are frying, heat the naan on a griddle pan or under the grill under hot. When the naan is hot, cut into four (if you're using one large naan, into two if you're using two naan breads). 

Divide the naan onto the to serving plates and top with the eggs, the crispy onions, the sliced chilli, and a little garam masala over the eggs with a little salt too.

Feel good at first soothing bite.
