How to prepare egg bonda?

Traditionally, egg bonda is a deep fried snack with hard boiled egg and seasoned chickpea flour. It is a popular Indian street food that you can find in many roadside restaurants in India. It is also known as egg bhaji, egg pakora, muttai bonda and ande bhaji. I prepared this egg bonda in the paniyaram pan using a few drops of oil instead of deep frying. I didn’t even notice the difference between the deep fried egg bhaji and the one I made in the paniyaram pan using only a few drops of oil. I enjoyed this guilt-free and protein packed snack with a cup of tea yesterday evening. My son Aldrich too loved it.

Smart Cooking Tips:

1. You can add finely chopped onion, green chilies, coriander leaves and ginger garlic paste in the batter.

2. The chickpea (besan) flour batter should be slightly thick and flowing consistency. If the batter is thin then it won’t coat the eggs properly.

3. Cook egg bonda over a medium flame in the appe pan. If you are deep frying the egg bonda, pierce the hard boiled eggs roughly using a fork before dipping in the batter. This helps to avoid the eggs getting burst while deep frying.

Protein packed snack:

You can serve as it is for a breakfast or snack and can use in the varieties of recipes from salads to appetizers. Egg bonda is an excellent snack using the hard boiled eggs.

Where to buy a good paniyaram pan?

A good Pan should have the following characteristic.

Cast Iron with non-stick coating – Cooking in Cast iron adds a unique taste to the food especially for Paniyaram type of food. However, the regular cast iron needs seasoning before you can make food without sticking in the Pan.

Cast iron pan also lasts for a long time.

Flat Base – If you are cooking in a Gas Cooktop then this doesn’t matter much. But most of us have an electric cooktop in our house so a flat base is important. It also helps the paniyaram to cook evenly.

Lid – Having a lid is a must because the lid helps to hold the heat inside and helps to cook evenly over the low to medium heat. Without a lid, the dishes remain uncooked from inside.

Wooden Stick – This is mainly to turn the paniyaram or snacks to cook on both the sides.

If you would like to buy one, please check the following link.
