Making the Batter
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the gram flour (besan), rice flour, and all-purpose flour (maida) harmoniously. Into this blend, add the Kashmiri red chili powder, a pinch of salt to taste, sambar powder, finely chopped ginger, finely chopped garlic, green chili paste, garam masala, coriander powder, and cumin powder. Mix thoroughly to combine all the spices and flours. Gradually add just enough water to achieve a thick batter with a coating consistency, perfect for enveloping those delicious eggs. -
Heating the Oil
In a kadai or deep frying pan, heat sunflower oil over medium-high flame. It’s important to ensure the oil is sufficiently heated before frying to achieve that perfect golden crisp. -
Frying the Eggs
Once the oil reaches the desired temperature, reduce the flame to medium-low. Carefully dunk each halved boiled egg into the prepared batter, ensuring they are generously coated. Gently lower the well-coated eggs into the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Deep fry them on medium flame until they transform into a beautiful, deep brown color and develop a crisp texture, approximately 3-4 minutes. -
Draining the Kebab
Once the Egg Sholay Kebabs are perfectly fried, drain them on absorbent paper to remove any excess oil. This step is crucial for maintaining that delightful crunch and preventing them from becoming soggy. -
Frying the Curry Leaves
In the same hot oil, toss in a few curry leaves and fry them until they are crisp. Drain them on absorbent paper as well. This adds a delightful crunch and an aromatic touch to your dish. -
Serving
Present the Egg Sholay Kebabs on a platter, garnished generously with the crispy fried curry leaves. Serve them hot for the best experience.
Accompaniments
To elevate your dining experience, serve the Egg Sholay Kebabs alongside a sumptuous meal that includes:
- Hyderabadi Biryani with Basmati Rice (Mutton & Chicken) – The rich flavors of the biryani beautifully complement the spicy kebabs.
- Mirchi Ka Salan Recipe – A tangy, spicy peanut sesame curry that adds a delightful contrast to the kebabs.
- Burani Raita Recipe – A cooling garlic-based yogurt dish that balances the spiciness of the kebabs perfectly.
