Boiled Egg Fritters For Tea Time Snacks
These egg fritters are crispy on the outside and soft inside, made with boiled eggs coated in a lightly spiced gram flour batter. They are simple to prepare and perfect for a comforting tea-time snack or quick appetizer.
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- ½ tablespoon black pepper powder
- ½ tablespoon cumin powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 3 pinches turmeric powder
- 3 pinches garam masala powder
- 2 cups gram flour
- salt to taste
- oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Add eggs to a saucepan with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes.
- Remove the eggs from the water and let them cool completely. Peel off the shells and cut each egg lengthwise into two halves.
- In a mixing bowl, add gram flour, black pepper powder, cumin powder, paprika, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Gradually add water little by little and whisk to form a smooth batter. The batter should be medium thick and able to coat the eggs evenly.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, dip each egg half into the batter and carefully place it into the hot oil.
- Fry for 2 to 3 minutes, then turn and fry the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Remove the pakodas and place them on a kitchen towel to absorb excess oil.
- Serve hot with chutney or sauce.
Notes
- Keep the batter medium thick so it coats the eggs evenly.
- Fry on medium heat to avoid oily fritters.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in small batches for best results.
- These fritters taste best when served hot and freshly fried.
- Reheat leftovers in an air fryer or oven to bring back some crispiness.
