Let’s make delicious Goan egg chop
- First of all, wash your potatoes well and boil them until tender. Set it aside to cool
- Take six out of seven eggs and hard-boil them. Please place it in cold water to cool down.
- Once the potatoes cool down, mash them into a smooth paste. Add the chopped coriander and salt to this.
- Incorporate these well with the mashed potatoes and refrigerate them for at least thirty minutes.
- Now, peel the boiled eggs and cut them into a desirable shape. You can either halve or quarter an egg.
- To make the chops, take the potato mix and form it into a considerably thick round patty. Now place the egg in the middle of this patty and fold the potato mix around it.
- Shape it until the egg is completely covered in the mixture and set it aside.
- Repeat this process until all the eggs are covered in the mixture. Now refrigerate it to prevent it from sticking to your hands.
- Once the egg begins to hold its shape without sticking to your hands, take it out of the fridge.
- Beat the remaining egg until frothy and spread semolina onto a flat surface.
- Dip the coated eggs into the egg and dredge it in semolina until it is fully covered. Repeat this step until all the eggs are covered.
- Heat oil on a nonstick pan enough for shallow frying.
