How To Make Bombay Eggs

Pour the oil into a large frying pan over a medium heat and, when it's hot, pop the cumin seeds and coriander powder and cook for a minute, then add the onions. Cook until blonde, then add the garlic and ginger. Cook for another 2 mins and then add the tinned tomatoes cooking for 10 minutes, stir every now then to stop from sticking.

Add the tomato puree, salt, sugar, chillies and turmeric, mix thoroughly, and leave for a minute. Add the spinach, mix again and let the leaves wilt.

Make 4 egg sized wells in the pan and crack each one into the well. Turn the heat down to low and cook for 10 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still a little bit wobbly. creamy.

Dust some pepper over the top, flourish with coriander or parsley and scoff this Indian egg curry with a big blob of yoghurt and some sour dough.
