Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the onion and salt and cook for about 5 min, until soft and lightly golden. Add the chilli, cumin, coriander, turmeric and smoked paprika. Stir for about 1 min. Add the tomato with its juices, tomato paste and pinch of sugar. Cover and reduce for about 10 min, stirring occasionally, until thick. If it dries too soon, add the optional measured water and continue reducing.

Lower the heat and pour the beaten eggs into the tomato base. Gently fold with a spatula for about 1 min, forming soft curds. Spread the ready-to-use soft cheese over the top. Let it melt gently for about 2 min, until the eggs are just set with no liquid raw egg, yet still soft. Remove from the heat. Add the optional pepper and chilli flakes if using. Serve immediately.
