(E)gg Pakoras

This is my contribution to Nupur’s A – Z series. I was first introduced to this dish when a friend tried them and got us some for tasting. We have a lot of bachelors staying nearby, and I must say that some of them are really great cooks. I have seen them baking cakes from scratch, trying different cuisines, desserts, vegetables. In fact, all of us out here are learning to cook and when something turns out good, we send out a portion for sampling and feedback:-) Anyways, I was intrigued when my friend made egg pakoras and was waiting to try them out. You can really make pakoras with anything – onion, potato, cabbage, mushrooms, eggs, moog, and so on. These egg pakoras are extremely tasty and serve as a good evening snack or a wonderful starter in a full course meal. Here’s the recipe:

Egg Pakoras



Ingredients
1.4 boiled eggs
2.½ cup besan
3.1-2 finely chopped green chillies
4.½ tsp cumin seeds
5.¼ tsp ajwain
6.¼ tsp turmeric powder
7.¼ tsp coriander powder
8.¼ tsp red chilli powder
9.Salt to taste
10.Oil for frying

Method
1.Cut the boiled eggs in two halves.
2.Add all the ingredients in besan (except oil) and make a thick batter.
3.Heat oil on medium flame. Dip the boiled eggs in the batter. Make sure that the batter sticks on all sides of the eggs. Fry till golden brown and drain oil on paper.
4.Serve with ketchup.
