Assemble and Coat the Devils
Deep Fry to Perfection
Serve Hot
Incorporate 100g of cooked and spiced minced chicken (keema) or mutton into the potato filling for a richer, heartier snack.
Increase the heat by adding 1-2 more finely chopped green chilies or a 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper powder to the filling.
Add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh mint leaves along with the coriander for a fresh, aromatic flavor.
Eggs are a complete protein, providing all nine essential amino acids necessary for muscle building, tissue repair, and immune function.
The complex carbohydrates from potatoes offer a steady release of energy, making this a filling and satisfying snack.
This dish contains essential nutrients like iron from egg yolks, potassium from potatoes, and various vitamins that support overall health.
One serving (two pieces) of Dimor Devil contains approximately 350-400 calories, primarily from the potatoes, eggs, and deep-frying oil. This is an estimate and can vary based on ingredient sizes and oil absorption.
Dimor Devil is a delicious indulgence rather than a health food, as it is deep-fried. However, it provides a good amount of protein from the eggs and carbohydrates from the potatoes. Enjoy it in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Yes, you can. For an air-fried version, preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Spray the coated devils with a little oil and air fry for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. The texture will be slightly different from the deep-fried version but still delicious.
Kasundi is a potent and pungent Bengali mustard sauce. If you can't find it, you can substitute it with a mix of English mustard and a little mayonnaise, or simply serve with tomato ketchup or a green chutney.
This usually happens for a few reasons: the potato filling was too loose or wet, the coating wasn't thick enough, or the devils were not handled gently. Ensure your mashed potatoes are not watery and the coating is complete and even. Chilling the coated devils for 15-20 minutes before frying can also help them hold their shape.
