Poach the eggs until the whites are set but yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes.

In a small pan, heat butter over medium heat until melted and bubbling.

Add chili flakes and cumin powder to the butter, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on a paper towel.

Spread the yogurt mixture on a plate, creating a nest for the eggs.

Place the poached eggs on top of the yogurt.

Drizzle the spiced butter over the eggs and yogurt.
