Hi Friends!
Let me ask how many of you look forward the evening tea snacks? I think all of us crave for it after coming from a long day work. Today I will be blogging about Dimer Devil. Don't worry the taste of it is completely opposite to the devil. It is a savory snack made with boiled eggs and it makes an absolute partner with evening tea. In Kolkata, Dimer Devil is available in street side restaurant or small cafes. They are usually prepared with eggs wrapped with mutton keema (cooked minced goat meat). I made this deviled eggs with potato stuffing layer as I was in a hurry. This recipe is very quick and does not need a lot of ingredients. They also make a good appetizer to entertain your guests without breaking your bank. So, without any further due, lets start.
Recipe yeilds 12 servings.
Ingredients for Potato stuffing/filling
Methods for Potato stuffing/filling
1. Chop the onions, green chili and cilantro into small pieces.
2. Make some slit marks on the surface of the potatoes and boil them. Remove the skin and throw the remaining water. Let the potatoes cool. Mash the potatoes nicely.
3. Heat a pan and add some oil in it. When the oil is hot add the onions. When the onions are translucent add the mashed boiled potatoes. Now add the pieces of chili, ginger paste, garlic paste and cook it for 2 mins. Then add all the spices mentioned in the ingredient list and give a good stir. Cook for another 3-4 mins stirring continuously. Taste it and adjust the salt and sugar accordingly. At the end add the cilantro leaves and give another final stir. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool.
Ingredients
Methods
1. Now you have 12 boiled egg-halves (Cut the 6 boiled eggs into 12 halves).
2. Try to make 12 equal portion of the potato stuffing. (Note: Don't worry if they are not accurately equal. You can always adjust the shape)
3. Take a piece of boiled egg half and cover it with the one portion of potato stuffing. Cover all the surface and make sure the surface is smooth enough.
4. Repeat the step 3 for all the egg halves.
5. Now dust the egg halves with besan (chickpea flour).
6. In a bowl crack an egg and beat nicely. The egg wash is ready.
7. Add the breadcrumbs in a dinner plate. Spread the breadcrumbs uniformly.
8. Now take an egg half covered in potato stuffing dusted in besan. Dip it in the egg wash and the roll it in the breadcrumbs plate. Coat it with the breadcrumbs nicely. (Note: Try to smooth the edges of the egg halves with proper coating of breadcumbs as they tend to crack near the edges)
9. Repeat the step 8 for all the pieces. Once all the pieces are ready let them rest in the fridge for some time.
10. Heat the oil in a large size frying pan. Fry those deviled eggs all the sides by flipping them frequently. Once they are golden brown on the entire surface, take those out in a plate lined with paper towel. The paper towel will soak the excess oil. (Note: You can easily shallow fry those. Deep frying is not needed. Use meticulous hand while flipping those so that they don't break)
Serve those heavenly dimmer devils with condiments like Ketchup and Kasundi (mustard sauce). In a separate plate add some cucumber, onion and tomato slices with some lemon juice and pinch of rock salt. Have this salad as a side with this appetizer and you will be sorted. This savory snacks will be sufficient to satisfy and fill everything- your mood, your tummy and off course your money. Do let me know if you have any question in the comment sections. And I am waiting for all your comments to get filled in the comment section of Comfort Saveur.
Thanks,
