If you overdid the eating-out this Puja and are now finding it hard to go back to plain ol’ home food, here’s a recipe to recreate that classic roadside snack in the safety and comfort of your home.
Ingredients for 10 devils:
5 eggs, hard boiled (cut in half)
8 medium sized potatoes, boiled
2 slices of bread
1tsp dry mango powder
3 tsp roasted cumin powder
1 tsp red chilli powder
2 handfuls of bread crumbs
3 tbsp cornflour
Salt to taste
Method:
- Mash the potatoes until smooth, add in all the spices and mix.
- Wet the pieces of bread with water, squeeze the water out and mix into the potatoes. This will help bind the mixture to the egg.
- Make a flat patty out of the potatoes and put the egg in the centre. Fold the patty around the egg.
- Dip the coated egg into a mixture of cornflour and water, and roll in bread crumbs.
- Fry till golden brown and serve hot!
