Preparation to Make Egg Bonda or Egg Bajji
- Add besan, ajwain (vaamu), salt, red chilli powder, masala powder, rice flour (or corn flour) and turmeric.
- Mix everything well.
- This one and the next step are optional but this adds a lot of flavor. Add cubed onions, ginger garlic paste and green chili to a blender. You can also use ginger garlic.
- Pour 1 to 2 tbsp. water and make a fine paste.
- Add this to the pokara mix. Also pour enough water and make batter.
- The consistency of the batter should not be very thin or very thick. If the consistency is very thick, it will not coat the egg. If very thin, then it will drip.
- Remove the shells from hard boiled eggs. Pierce each egg 4 times randomly, once on each side with fork. Slice them and set aside. I sliced one egg to 3 slices. If using large eggs, you may slice to 4. Do not use whole egg to make pakora, it may burst.
