My mom used to make a similar recipe with hard boiled eggs, salt and pepper: but I always need that extra spark, so here I mixed and matched some spices and trust me, it came out very well. Other than the time taken to boil the eggs, you hardly need 2 more minutes to whip out this recipe.
Ingredients:
1)Egg - 1 (Hard-boiled and cut into 2 halves)
2)Gram Flour(Besan) - 1 tsp
3)Red chilli powder - 1/4 tsp
4)Ginger Garlic paste - 1/4 tsp
5)Coriander powder - 1/4 tsp
6)Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
7)Salt - to taste
8)Oil - 1/2 tsp
9)Water - 2 tsp
10)Mustard seeds - 1/4 tsp
Preparation:
1)Hard boil the egg in water and cut it into 2 halves.
2)Take a bowl, add gram flour, red chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, salt, ginger garlic paste, water and mix well, make sure there are no lumps.
3)Coat the hard boiled eggs with the above mixture.
4)Heat oil in a pan and add the coated egg, flip them over once a side is done. If your pan is not a non-stick one, then the coated 'yolk side' may stick to the pan a little, but that is alright, use your years of experience to take it off the pan ;-)
Note: If you want the eggs to come out clean, then you can fry it in good amount of oil. I'm sure your kids are gonna love them this way.
5)Once you take the egg off the pan, I'm sure some oil is still left in the pan, tilt the pan to gather the oil, add the mustard seeds and let it splutter, now add the "quick tadka"(tempering) over the egg as a garnish.
Am I the most stingy oil user in the world?? I guess, so. HaHa.
Here you go, your sauteed egg is ready to be served.

DeleteWow! Am excited to discover such a recipe. I have a packet of the flour which has been sitting in my fridge for some time. I will try out this weekend and for sure linking back to your blog. I can imagine the savory coating over the eggs and another perfect pairing for rice.

ReplyDeleteHaHa thanks Chitz.
DeleteYou know, when I was removing the egg from the pan, i had no intention to add tadka, but when i took a snap, i felt something was missing, I looked at the pan , there was hardly any oil left, still i did not want to pour half a spoon more, so i tilted the pan and gathered the oil around and made a tadka, crazy me :-)
love that crispy cover:)
