Prepare the Rava Coating
Shallow Fry to Golden Perfection
Garnish and Serve
For a spicier version, add 1/4 tsp of black pepper powder or a finely chopped green chili to the masala paste.
Incorporate 1 tablespoon of besan (gram flour) into the rava mixture for a nuttier flavor and extra crispiness.
Mix finely chopped curry leaves or mint leaves into the rava coating for a fresh, aromatic twist.
For a less oily alternative, arrange the coated eggs on a baking sheet, spray with oil, and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. You can also use an air fryer.
Eggs are a complete protein source, providing all nine essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair, building tissues, and overall body function.
The combination of protein from eggs and carbohydrates from semolina (rava) provides a sustained release of energy, making this a satisfying and energizing snack.
Eggs are packed with important vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, selenium, and choline, which support brain health, immune function, and bone strength.
One serving (2 pieces) of Egg Rava Fry contains approximately 180-220 calories, primarily depending on the amount of oil absorbed during the shallow frying process.
Egg Rava Fry can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet. Eggs are an excellent source of protein and essential nutrients. However, as it is a fried dish, it is higher in calories and fat. For a healthier option, consider baking or air-frying the coated eggs instead.
This dish is best served fresh and hot to enjoy its signature crispiness. You can boil the eggs and prepare the masala paste a day in advance and store them in the refrigerator. However, you should coat and fry the eggs just before you plan to serve them.
This usually happens for two reasons: the egg surface is too wet, or the masala paste is too thin. Ensure you pat the boiled egg halves dry before applying the paste, and make sure the masala paste is thick enough to adhere properly to the egg.
Coarse rava (semolina) is highly recommended as it provides the signature crispy and crunchy texture. Using fine rava will result in a denser, less crispy coating that is more like a batter.
