Amp up your everyday eggs with herbed butters and cheese. Chutney-butter is easy: mix your spicy mint chutney into butter. Chives and chèvre cheese are a good match too. Count on herbs: mint, parsley, coriander, anything!

To make your shakshuka eggs better, start with the base of roasted tomatoes, bell peppers, onion and garlic. Here comes the twist: Beat the egg whites into peaks using an electric mixer (or a very strong arm). Bake for a few minutes. Then drop the egg yolks between the peaks and bake again for runny eggs.

Mop it all up with a flavoured sourdough.

Prateek’s signature restaurant, Masque, is changing India’s culinary landscape and was awarded the One To Watch Award by Asia’s 50 Best in 2020
