Also Known As: Egg Pakora,Ande Ka Pakodiya`n. Gudilu Pakoda. Muttai Pakoda. Egg Pakoda. Ande ka Pakodi. Ande Pakora. Mutta Pakoda.
This is a definite rainy day food for me and something that I enjoyed making when I was a teenager (to my classmates…as I was just learning to cook). Its a great late night snack food for us. I burned my fingers, several times over this recipe (as egg crackles so much while deep frying).
I can’t even remember, why I kept trying this recipe for so long. Guess, near my hostel…they used to have this ‘bajji stall’ and we girls used to sneak out to have ‘muttai bonda’. Some of them used to call it pakoda’ so I must have literally translated and created this style. I’ve never seen them anywhere like this before. It’s a great recipe because it just calls for staple items, eggs, onions, chilies and stuff. Nothing very fancy and hope you all will like it.
Can all recipes be improved with touch of spices and with an addition of onions? Quite possibly.:) This recipe is so delicious that it really ought to be called something else other than “Egg Pakoda”. Onion-Egg Crispies, perhaps?
Ingredients:
Hard boiled eggs 6-thinly sliced(vertically)
Gram flour 1/2 cup
Ghee 1-2 teaspoons
Soda 1/4 spoon
Salt
Onions thinly sliced 1 bowl
Green chilies 3-5 thinly sliced
Curry leaves few
Cilantro leaves few
Ginger- garlic paste 1/2 spoon
Fennel seeds 1-2 spoons
Oil for frying.
Method:
In a wide tray, add salt, soda and ghee…mix well. Now add gram flour to it. Dry mix them…do not attempt to add water!
Now add eggs, onions, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, fennel seeds and curry leaves to it.
Make a note…don’t add any water. The mixture should be still dry. Mix them well together.
In a deep frying pan, heat oil. Just before dropping in oil. Just sprinkle with water(not too much, very very little) and fry them without concentrating on the shapes.
Fry till crispy and nice reddish brown. At the same time eggs are not burnt too. Make sure…that egg’s white is not so visible’ in should be embedded in the pakoda…as you might be aware’ protein/albumin while frying crackles.
Repeat the same procedure for every batch.
Serve hot with tomato ketchup. Best tea time snack that I know.

Thanks a lot, buddies:)
Your method of egg pakodas looks great da, I used to cut them into halves and make bajjis…crispy and perfect pakodas
Happy New Year Dear!
Pakoda with eggs is a great idea dear.yours is a true temptation. Really craving for them now:)
i make it with halved eggs and the flat surface completely sealed with mashed boiled potato then covered in the above besan mix without water…….my husband gets an incredible smile when i make this…
wow pakoda super and very crispy i like to eat pakoda winter and rainy season with ginger tea.
Tried Egg Bhajji several times but not Egg Pakora..looks gr8.. but sure should be prepared to some burning fingers when the egg crackes in hot oil..
You must really be one brave woman to try this over and over till perfection. I wouldn’t dare try it now that you have mentioned about eggs and protein crackling when it comes into contact with oil
. If you are willing to send some for me, I’m all game for it 
nice pakoras…..ate it looooonnnnnggggg time back….
