Egg Chop

Ingredients

  • Eggs (4)
  • Potatoes (2–3 large)
  • Gram flour (besan) (1 cup)
  • Finely chopped onion (1 teaspoon)
  • Green chilies (2)
  • Turmeric powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Oil (for frying)
  • Salt (to taste)

Method

  1. Boil the potatoes and mash them with salt, green chilies, and chopped onion. Hard-boil the eggs and peel them. Wrap each egg in a thin layer of potato mash, making sure no egg shows through.
  2. For the batter, add 1 teaspoon turmeric powder and 1 teaspoon salt to the gram flour. Add enough water to make a mixture the consistency of pancake batter. Make sure there are no lumps. Deep-fry the chops in medium-hot oil after dipping them in the batter. Serve hot.
