Preparation

  1. Gather all ingredients and equipment needed.

Then add tomato paste and stir, add diced tomatoes, frozen cooked diced potatoes, salt, and pepper, mix well, and let simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Spread mixture evenly and create small wells to place eggs for poaching so that the eggs have a bed to stay on and not spread around the spiced tomato sauce.
  4. Poach egg in spiced tomato sauce until eggs are done at 144°F-158°f (62°C-70°C).
  5. To make raita sauce, combine all raita ingredients together, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped garlic, grated cucumber, chopped fresh mint, chopped fresh cilantro, ground cumin, salt and black pepper in a bowl and mix until fully combined.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley.
  7. Serve in cast iron skillet with raita sauce and pita bread on the side.
