By swasthi , on May 21, 2019, 19 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Egg bonda recipe also called as egg bajji or egg pakora. To make these delicious bonda or bajji, boiled eggs are dipped in a spiced batter and deep fried until golden. Chopped onions, lemon juice and coriander leaves can be topped over these and enjoyed. These can be served as a evening snack or a starter in a meal.

6. 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.

7. 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.

    Hi,
    Such a Mouthwatering recipe….
    I made these pakoras ones, of course without the blended mixture which u have added for additional taste…..
    But my pakoras with eggslices having yolk bursted in oil while egg white pakoras came nicely….I had to discard eggyolk & prepare them…
    what could be the reason for that ???
    Thanks in advance…

      Hi Kallpana,
      I suppose eggs burst if not sliced properly, meaning thick slices can burst. Slicing a small egg to 3 and a large one to four will not burst. Even a slightly runny yolk can burst while frying. So far I have made these a few times after hearing a lot from 2 of my friends and they specifically told me to slice each egg to at least 3 otherwise they may burst. I have updated the post with tips to prevent bursting, piercing eggs with fork, just as we do for boiled egg roast. Thanks for bringing this up.
