- Prepare the Eggs
Boil the eggs until hard, peel them, and cut them into halves or quarters depending on the size of fritters you want. - Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, rice flour, turmeric, chili powder, cumin, pepper, and salt. Slowly add water to form a smooth batter—thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but not too runny. - Heat the Oil
Pour enough oil into a deep frying pan and heat it over medium flame until hot. To test, drop a small bit of batter—it should sizzle and rise immediately. - Coat the Eggs
Dip each piece of boiled egg into the batter, making sure it’s fully coated. - Fry to Perfection
Carefully slide the coated eggs into the hot oil. Fry in small batches until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. - Serve Hot
Enjoy these crispy fritters right away with ketchup, mint chutney, or spicy garlic sauce.
Tips for Best Result
- Use rice flour or even a tablespoon of cornflour in the batter—it makes the fritters extra crispy.
- Keep the oil hot but not smoking. Medium-high heat ensures the batter crisps up without burning.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan—fry in small batches for even cooking.
- For a fusion twist, sprinkle grated cheese on the hot fritters right after frying.
Serving Ideas
These fritters are delicious as:
- Tea-time snacks with chutney or ketchup.
- Party appetizers served with garlic mayo or spicy dips.
- Side dish with rice and curry for an added crunch.
