Instructions

Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

Add chopped tomatoes. You can use bell peppers too (optional) and cook 3-4 mins.
Stir in garlic and continue to cook for 5-7 minutes over medium heat until softened.
Add tomato sauce and tomato paste, and add all the spices. Adjust the spices according to your taste.

Make wells in the tomato sauce and crack in eggs, one at a time. I am using 6 eggs for this recipe.
