The bright spiced butter gives this simple brunch the wow factor. If you want more kick, add more cayenne pepper.

Saw somewhere that straining the egg helps poaching. This was first time I tried to do so and it came out perfect.

The hardest part was poaching the egg. Make sure the yogurt is a firm kind or you'll end up with a soup. I fucked up the measurements for the spice butter and ended up not using it but the dish definitely needs it to break up the flavours. It was good and I will make it again
