Method
- To begin making the Egg Pakora recipe, in a small pot, add water and bring it to boil.
- Once the water starts boiling, add a pinch of salt and eggs.Cook them for about 15 minutes and remove from the flame.
- Run the eggs under cold water immediately and remove their outer shell.Slice the eggs into halves and set aside.In a bowl, combine flour, turmeric powder, red chilly powder, and salt together.Add water little by little and mix them well to prepare a batter.
- It should be slightly thinner than Idli batter but not runny like dosa batter.Meanwhile, heat oil in a kadai over medium flame.
- Once the oil is hot, add a small ball of flour to check the state of oil.
- If the ball rises steadily, then the oil is hot enough for frying pakoras.
- If it raises slowly, then the oil should be heated for some more time.Once the oil consistency is perfect, take a slice of egg, dip it in the flour and slowly drop them into the oil.Cook until they turn golden on both the sides by flipping them occasionally.
