Yes, it's a very healthy dish. Eggs are a fantastic source of high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals. The spices add flavor without significant calories, and the dish is low in carbohydrates and unhealthy fats.
You can hard-boil and peel the eggs up to 2 days in advance and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. However, it is best to slice and season them just before serving to prevent them from becoming watery and to ensure the flavors are fresh and vibrant.
Kala namak, or black salt, is a volcanic rock salt with a distinct sulfurous, pungent smell and taste. It's a key ingredient in chaat masala and gives this dish its characteristic tangy, savory flavor. While you can substitute it with regular salt, you will miss out on the authentic taste.
For the first 1-2 minutes of boiling, gently and continuously stir the eggs in the water with a spoon. This movement helps center the yolks before they set, resulting in a more visually appealing presentation when sliced.
