Scotch Eggs
Scotch Eggs or Deviled Eggs are an egg lover’s delight. It started off as a easy to carry food for English farmers who couldn’t trudge back home for meals. Now it’s a convenient non messy picnic food.
We also have an Indian version called Nargisi Kofta where hard boiled eggs are covered with mutton. It is easier to cover the eggs with boiled potatoes although mutton mince, chicken mince and fish are also used.
Ingredients
4 hard boiled eggs
3 potatoes, boiled, mashed
1 onion, minced
2 green chillies, chopped
2 cups bread crumbs
1 cup water
2 tbsp cornflour
Salt to taste
1 tsp chaat masala
Mix together mashed potatoes, minced onion, chopped green chillies, salt and chaat masala. Cover the hard boiled eggs with the potato mix. Make a thin paste of the water and cornflour. Dip the egg balls in the cornflour mix and then roll in breadcrumbs. Deep fry the eggs. Your Scotch Eggs are ready.
