How To Make This

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the potatoes, greens, onion, ginger, curry powder, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and press into a layer with a wooden spoon. Cook without stirring until crispy and golden brown on the bottom, about 7 minutes, until the potatoes are crisp-tender.

2. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the chickpeas, tomato and ½ cup (284ml) water, stirring gently until just combined. Press into an even layer, cook for 5 minutes.

3. Make 3 or 4 wells in the mixture. Break the eggs one at a time into a cup to keep shell fragments out of the hash, then slip one egg into each well. Cover with a lid or a sheet of foil and cook 6 to 8 minutes, until the whites are set to your liking.

4. To serve, use a large serving spoon to scoop out each egg with a proportionate amount of hash.

Storage and Reheat

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to bring back the crispy edges, or microwave in 30-second bursts if you're short on time. The eggs will firm up more on reheat, so if you like a runny yolk, this one is best fresh.
