Add in the garlic and cook 1 to 2 minutes; stir in the turmeric, cumin and paprika, and allow to cook about 2 minutes to help develop the flavours.
Pour in tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to cook about 10 minutes. Once the mixture has thickened make 4 spaces for the eggs.Gently crack the eggs into the tomatoes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the eggs are cooked to your liking, or about 8 to 10 minutes.
