6 eggs 1 cup corn flour ½ cup maida (all-purpose flour) ¼ cup besan (chana flour) Salt – as required 1 teaspoon black pepper powder 1 teaspoon red chilli powder Oil – for frying and cooking 1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic 1 large capsicum (cut into big pieces) 1 tablespoon tomato sauce 1 tablespoon soya sauce 1 tablespoon vinegar 1 tablespoon red chilli sauce 1 tablespoon green chilli sauce 1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1: Boil the Eggs Add enough water to a vessel and mix in a little salt. Place the eggs in the water and boil them for about 10 minutes until fully cooked . Once boiled, remove the shells and cut each egg into four pieces. Set them aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Batter In a mixing bowl, add corn flour, Maida, and besan (chana flour). Add salt, black pepper powder, and red chilli powder. Gradually add water and mix well to form a smooth batter with a thick coating consistency.
Step 3: Fry the Eggs Heat oil in a pan for frying. Dip each egg piece in the prepared batter and gently drop it into the hot oil. Fry the coated eggs until they turn golden brown. Remove the fried egg pieces and place them on tissue paper to absorb excess oil.
Step 4: Prepare the Sauce In another pan, heat two tablespoons of oil. Add the chopped ginger and garlic, and sauté them until they release a nice aroma. Add the capsicum pieces and stir-fry for two minutes. Add tomato sauce, soya sauce, vinegar, red chilli sauce, and green chilli sauce. Mix everything well and cook for a minute.
Step 5: Combine Everything Add the fried egg pieces to the prepared sauce mixture. Toss gently so that the eggs are evenly coated with the sauce. Add the chopped coriander leaves and mix lightly. If you prefer a slightly thick texture, mix a teaspoon of corn flour with water and add it to the pan. Cook for another minute.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve Heat a teaspoon of oil in a small pan and add sesame seeds. Roast them lightly and sprinkle over the Egg Chilli as a garnish.
