Notes

  1. Eggs are to be hard-boiled.
  2. Vegetables need to be chopped very finely for getting that keema texture. Do not use tomato puree or sauce.
  3. Using butter and pav bhaji masala gives the best street style taste to the egg keema.
  4. Do not add water after adding eggs, boiled eggs dipped in water gives a very funny and weird taste, you will more likely throw the entire dish in a bin.
  5. Substitutes grated eggs can be substituted with grated paneer or grated tofu. even minced soya may work well but need more spices to balance the blandness.
  6. You can skip besan flour if you don't have it as it is used only to thicken the keema.
  7. If you don’t have pav bhaji masala, increase garam masala by ¼ teaspoon, Also dried mango powder, chat masala can also be used.
  8. Storage It keeps well in the fridge for a day, gently reheats using microwave or stovetop. Not suitable for freezing.
  9. The nutritional value is approximate. When served with bread, it comes for 2 people.
