Tomato-poached eggs
Ingredients:
3 medium size eggs
5-6 tomatoes chopped 
1 medium size onion, finely chopped
1/2 tsp of garlic ginger paste
1/3 tsp of turmeric powder
2 tbsp of vegetable oil
1 tbsp full of curry leaves
1/2 tsp of red chilli powder
1/3 tsp of coriander powder
1/3 tsp of cumin powder
pinch of garam masala(optional)
salt to taste

Procedure:

Heat oil in a medium size non-stick saucepan and fry the onion until golden.
Add garlic and ginger paste, turmeric powder and curry leaves, fry them until garlic ginger paste looses its row smell.
Add ground spices and cook for around 30 sec on low heat.
Stir in tomatoes and cook them by placing lid on top for around 8-10mts.
Add a splash of water if required from a kettle to loosen the gravy a little, though it should still be thick and creamy.
Now at this moment adjust the seasoning, smooth the surface of the mixture and make 3 hollows with the back of a spoon. Crack an egg into each hollow, sprinkle pinck of salt over the eggs. Cover and cook it on both sides for around 3-4 mts until the eggs are done to your liking.Sprinkle some coriander leaves on top and serve hot with toasted bread, roti or steamed rice. 
Try this dish its very simple and nutritious.
