EGGSPERT-II

It’s been more than two years since I posted my Egg bhurji recipe over here. As I advanced from one relationship status to other, egg recipes got tougher, but definitely tastier…..:-) So, today, I am gonna share yet another egg recipe, but which is tougher and as mentioned earlier, tastier than your normal egg bhurji.


Name – I call it “Stuffed Egg Pakoda” – You can call it whatever you want……

Ingredients:

Eggs (obviously)

For the dough:

Besan (Gram flour)

Jeera,

Ova (it’s found in parathas usually)

Red chilli powder

Turmeric

Salt to taste

Green chillies (finely chopped)

For the filling:

Onions – 2/3 finely chopped

Tomatoes – 1

Boiled potato – 1 mashed

Green Chillies – finely chopped

Cumin seeds, Red chilli powder, Turmeric, Garam masala, Aamchur powder (Dry Mango Powder), Tomato sauce

Salt to taste

Preparation:

Boil the eggs and keep them in cold water for about five minutes. Peel them and cut them into half. Scoop off the yolk and keep aside.

Mix all the ingredients mentioned above to the Gram flour. Take some lukewarm water and add to the mixture thus formed. Add water till the point the consistency is thick, semi-solid. Keep moving your hand through the mixture to avoid lumps.

Now, take a pan and heat some oil in it. Put the cumin seeds and green chillies. Add the finely chopped onions within 10 seconds. Sauté the onions till they turn reddish-brown. Add the tomato and sauté for some more time till the tomato leaves its water. Add the mashed boiled potato and fry for about just over a minute. Now add the masalas and fry them for about two minutes. Finally, add a little bit of tomato sauce for the zing and heat the filling for around two more minutes.

Add this mixture to the shallow of the eggs. Now, here, you can do two things:

1. Either add the mixture to the shallow of the eggs, take the two parts and dip them together in our gram flour mixture OR

2. Simply add the filling to the shallow of the egg, take this part and straight-away dip that in the gram flour mixture – Choice is yours

However, so after you are done with this, deep fry the egg (dipped in the gram flour mixture with the filling) till it turns light brown.

Serve it with tangy tomato sauce or chutney of your choice and let me know how it was…..:-)

Tip (as usual):
Add a little salt to the onions - will help them fry faster
Be careful while deep frying stuff - maintain a safe distance!
