Crushed peppercorns – 2 tsp

Cooked and mashed potatoes – 4

Garam masala – 1/2 tsp

All purpose flour – 1 cup

Bread crumbs – 1 cup

Oil for frying

PREPARATION

Boil 4 of the eggs in water till they are cooked, maybe for 6-10 mins, depending on how soft or hardboiled you like them.

Remove from water. Peel the shells off and keep the eggs ready.

Cook the soya chunks and grind them coarsely.

Saute the onion till it is slightly brown in colour. Add the tomatoes and sauté well.

Now add the mashed potatoes and the ground soya chunks.

Add the spices, fresh coriander, and garam masala. Mix everything well together. Remove from the fire.

Form small balls from this mix. Make a hole in the middle and insert a boiled egg into this and cover the egg completely with this mixture. Roll in the flour.

Beat the remaining egg. Dip the covered egg in the beaten egg and roll in bread crumbs.

Take a pan and pour some oil into it. Then deep fry in oil till all sides become golden brown in colour.
