Egg Pakoras

When it comes to Pakoras, or Gram Flour Fritters, essentially anything can be used to make them. Here I am sharing a recipe of another family favorite, Anday ka Pakoray(Egg Pakoras).  We basically take boiled eggs and dip them into a gram flour batter. Then the eggs are deep fried to a golden brown color. You wouldn't think to make pakoras using eggs, but they are simply delicious, as is anything deep fried! This simple recipe is easy to make and another must for Ramadan Iftars. Enjoy!

Ingredients

6 hard-boiled eggs
1 cup gram flour
1 tsp red chili powder
​1/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
​1/4 tsp baking soda
​1/2 cup water
​oil for frying

Method

1. Prepare the batter by mixing the gram flour, red chili powder, cumin powder, turmeric, black pepper and salt in bowl. Add the water and whisk into a smooth paste. Add a tsp or two more water if it seems to thick. Allow to rest for about 30 minutes. 
2. Take the hard-boiled eggs and cut in half.  
3. Heat oil in a frying pan. 
4. Using a fork, take a piece of egg and carefully dip it into the batter. Coating it all around. Now take the egg and place into the hot oil. Fry until both sides are a nice golden brown color. Keep on medium low heat because the egg will splatter sometimes. 

​Serve hot with Tomato Chili Sauce or Mint Chutney
