Marinate the Eggs
Assemble and Cook
Garnish and Serve
Replace the eggs with cubes of paneer, boiled potatoes, or mushrooms for a delicious vegetarian alternative. Adjust marination time accordingly.
For a healthier version, cook the Egg Tujji in an air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 8-10 minutes, or bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through.
Add 1/4 teaspoon of ajwain (carom seeds) or black salt (kala namak) to the marinade for a different flavor dimension.
Thread cubes of onion, bell peppers (capsicum), and tomatoes between the egg halves on the skewer for added texture, color, and flavor.
Eggs are a complete protein source, providing all nine essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
Packed with B-vitamins, particularly B12, and healthy fats, eggs provide a sustained release of energy, making this a great snack to combat midday slumps.
The yogurt in the marinade is a good source of calcium and vitamin D, which are crucial for maintaining strong and healthy bones.
Using curd (yogurt) as a base for the marinade introduces beneficial probiotics that support a healthy gut microbiome and aid digestion.
One serving of Egg Tujji (2 pieces or 1 whole egg) contains approximately 210-230 calories, making it a satisfying and relatively light snack.
Yes, Egg Tujji can be a healthy snack. Eggs are an excellent source of high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals. The use of yogurt adds probiotics. To make it healthier, pan-fry with minimal oil or use an air fryer.
Absolutely! Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Arrange the skewers in the basket, ensuring they don't overlap. Lightly spray with oil and air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
Be very gentle at every stage. Use perfectly hard-boiled eggs (10-12 minutes boiling time) as they hold their shape better. Use a spoon to coat the eggs in the marinade, and guide the skewer slowly through the firmest part of the egg white.
Egg Tujji is traditionally served as a street food snack on its own, often with a side of onion rings and mint-coriander chutney. It also pairs well with Kashmiri breads like Lavasa or Girda.
You can boil the eggs and prepare the marinade a day in advance and store them separately in the refrigerator. However, it's best to marinate and cook the eggs just before serving for the best texture and flavor.
