Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoon chilli powder (or ) HomemadeSambhar Powder
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 3 tablespoon oil
- ¼ cup water
- salt ( to taste )
Instructions
- Boil four eggs with sufficient water, as shown in the picture.
- In a frying pan, add oil on a medium heat. When the oil is warm, add chilli or paprika powder
- Next, add turmeric powder and salt to taste.
- Reduce the heat to a low flame and stir the masalas well until they are combined.
- Add a quarter cup of water to the egg masala mixture and stir well.
- The masala mixture starts to thicken, and the oil separates.
- Finally, cut the boiled eggs into halves and add to the masala. Let it sit for two to three minutes. It helps the egg to absorb the masala.
- Flip the egg onto the other side so the bottom of the egg coats well with the egg masala. Let it sit for two minutes.
- Flip the egg onto the other side so the bottom of the egg coats well with the egg masala. Let it sit for two minutes. Put out the heat and garnish it with curry leaves (optional).
Notes
- I store the eggs in the refrigerator. I’ll make sure they are a week old.
- I prefer to use slightly older eggs for boiling. Fresh eggshells are difficult to peel, as the membrane will be intact with the shell. We find it hard to peel the egg, and the tearing of the eggs happens.
- When boiling the egg, add half a teaspoon of salt. Egg white solidifies more quickly in hot salty water.
- After boiling the eggs, immediately pour off the hot water, leaving the eggs in the pot. Pour in cold water and sit until the eggs are cold enough to handle.
- Then crack the eggs and peel them using your hands under running water. The water seeps under the thin film that clings to the whites and helps release the shell without damaging the boiled egg.
