Prepare the Chilli Sauce
Combine and Serve
Replace the boiled eggs with cubes of paneer (Indian cottage cheese) or firm tofu. Coat and fry them in the same way for a delicious vegetarian alternative.
To make Chilli Egg with gravy, mix 1 tablespoon of corn starch with 1/2 cup of water to create a slurry. Add this to the sauce in Step 4 and simmer until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Incorporate other stir-fry friendly vegetables like sliced carrots, broccoli florets, or different colored bell peppers for added nutrition and color.
Instead of deep-frying, pan-fry the battered eggs with a few tablespoons of oil until golden, or bake them in an air fryer at 200°C (400°F) for 10-12 minutes.
Eggs are a complete protein source, providing all nine essential amino acids necessary for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle growth, and maintaining overall body function.
Eggs are packed with essential nutrients like Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, selenium, and choline, which are vital for bone health, brain function, and a healthy immune system.
The combination of protein and healthy fats in eggs provides a sustained release of energy, helping you feel full and energized for longer periods.
Chilli Egg Dry is a source of high-quality protein from the eggs. However, it is deep-fried, which increases its calorie and fat content. It can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. For a healthier version, consider pan-frying or air-frying the eggs.
A single serving of Chilli Egg Dry (approximately 2 pieces or 240g) contains around 350-450 calories. The exact number can vary based on the amount of oil absorbed during frying and the specific sauces used.
Yes, you can make a healthier version. After coating the eggs in batter, you can pan-fry them in a skillet with a few tablespoons of oil until crisp, or cook them in an air fryer at 200°C (400°F) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Leftover Chilli Egg Dry can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, the crispy coating will become soft upon refrigeration. Reheat in a pan or an air fryer to regain some of the crispiness.
As an appetizer, it's great on its own. To make it a meal, you can serve it with a side of vegetable fried rice or hakka noodles.
