Chef tips
To achieve a rich and creamy Lachsa, ensure you sauté the onion and tomatoes until fully softened before adding the eggs, so the flavours meld perfectly with the Hawaij spice. To upgrade the meal, sprinkle over some salty feta cheese or add a handful of cooked broad beans. Children will enjoy helping to scatter the cheese and dipping Lahoh or crusty bread into the rich sauce.
