Heat oil in large frying pan, cook onion over medium heat until just soft.

Add salt and pepper to taste (I put 1.5 tsp. salt), cumin, sugar and water, bring back to a boil.
Beat one egg and mix into veggies, so it breaks into little white bits.
Add remaining eggs whole. grind some pepper on them. The eggs should nest in the sauce.
lower heat and close lid. cook 5-8 minutes for soft eggs, 10-15 for hard boiled. (I usually cook for 8).
