Description
These Indian-style stuffed eggs are packed with a vibrant green chutney made from fresh herbs, chillies, and spices. They are quick to prepare and make a flavorful appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
- 8 boiled eggs
- 1/2 cup coriander leaves
- 2 sprigs curry leaves
- 2 green chillies
- 2 sambar onions
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
Instructions
- Prepare the green chutney by adding the coriander leaves, curry leaves, green chillies, sambar onions, garlic, salt, crushed pepper, turmeric powder, and lemon juice into a mortar and pestle.
- Crush the mixture into a smooth paste without adding water, as the onion, garlic, and lemon juice provide enough moisture.
- Make one long slit in each boiled egg without cutting it fully in half.
- Stuff about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the green chutney paste into each egg slit.
- Serve immediately as an appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Adjust the number of green chillies depending on your spice preference.
- You can use a small food processor instead of a mortar and pestle for convenience.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
- These eggs pair well with tea or as part of a brunch spread.
