Garnish and Serve
Replace the eggs with crumbled firm tofu or large chunks of paneer (for a vegetarian version). Use oil instead of ghee for the rotis.
Add 1-2 teaspoons of harissa paste along with the tomato paste for an extra kick of heat and flavor.
Crumble 1/4 cup of feta cheese or paneer over the shakshuka just before serving for a creamy, tangy addition.
Add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini to the tomato sauce for extra nutrients and texture.
With protein from both the eggs in the shakshuka and the besan (chickpea flour) in the roti, this meal is excellent for muscle repair, growth, and keeping you full longer.
Tomatoes are a fantastic source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant linked to reducing the risk of certain diseases. The bell peppers and spices also contribute to the antioxidant content.
The combination of besan and atta (whole wheat flour) in the missi roti provides a significant amount of dietary fiber, which is crucial for digestive health and maintaining stable blood sugar levels.
Garlic, onions, and turmeric are known for their anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties, helping to support your body's natural defenses.
One serving, which includes about 1/4 of the shakshuka and two missi rotis, contains approximately 450-550 calories, depending on the size of the eggs and the amount of ghee used.
Yes, it's a well-balanced and nutritious meal. It's rich in protein from eggs and besan, high in fiber from whole wheat flour, and packed with vitamins and antioxidants from the tomatoes, bell peppers, and spices.
Absolutely! The tomato sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, simply reheat the sauce in a skillet until simmering, then proceed with poaching the eggs.
Hard rotis are usually caused by over-kneading the dough or cooking them on too low a heat for too long. Knead just until the dough comes together and is smooth. Cook on a medium-high flame to ensure they puff up and stay soft.
Yes. For the Missi Roti, you can replace the atta (whole wheat flour) with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend or jowar (sorghum) flour. The shakshuka itself is naturally gluten-free.
Shakshuka is very versatile. It pairs wonderfully with crusty bread, pita bread, naan, or even a side of quinoa or couscous to soak up the delicious sauce.
