Heat the oil in a large 10 inch skillet over medium high heat, add onions and saute for 5 min.
Add garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste and spices, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook about 5 min stirring halfway. Remove the lid and stir in water.
One at a time make a small well in the tomato sauce and crack an egg into it, repeat with remaining eggs. Lower heat to medium and cover for 3-5 min.
