Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

For the baked eggs, heat the oil in a large frying pan or heatproof shallow casserole dish. Fry the onion with a pinch of salt over a medium heat for 15 mins or until golden. Lower the heat, add the ginger, garlic, most of the chillies and all the dried spices, and cook for 2 mins. Stir in the tomatoes and cook for a further 2 mins.

Step 2

Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer, season to taste, then stir through the spinach. Once wilted, simmer, uncovered, for 5 mins. Remove from the heat.

Step 3

Heat the parathas according to the instructions on the packet.

Step 4

Heat the grill to medium. Make eight dips in the spinach mixture and crack an egg into each. Cover with a lid or tightly with foil, cook over a medium-low heat for 5 mins, then grill for a further 3-5 mins or until the white is set but the yolks runny. Finish with the reserved red chillies and coriander. Serve with the paratha on the side.
