Maggi shakshuka

Shakshuka is a one skillet dish of gently poached eggs in a sauce of tomatoes, bell peppers, ginger, garlic, onion along with some warm spices like paprika, cumin, nutmeg(optional) and fresh herbs. It can be served as a breakfast, lunch or dinner recipe with sourdough, garlic bread or just like this. I have also used Maggi noodles in this recipe to give this dish a slight indianised version and a unique taste. So let's get started.
