Ingredients for Kursi Miyane
Eggs – 4-6 , hard boiled ( to serve 4 ) and 1 egg for coating
Lamb mince – 100 gms
Oil – 1 cup for deep frying
Turmeric- 1/2 teaspoon
Ginger garlic paste- 1/2 a teaspoon
Salt to taste
Chilli powder- 1 teaspoon
Garam masal powder – 1/2 a teaspoon
Green chillies – 1 medium,finely chopped
Coriander – 1/2 a cup , finely chopped
Method to cook Kursi Miyane
In a small pan heat 1 tablespoon of oil .
Add and cook the lamb mince by adding the turmeric, ginger garlic paste, salt and chilli powder
Cook the mince on low flame for 15-20 minutes till the water given off from the mince dries up completely and the lamb gets well cooked
Once done , drizzle a teaspoon of lemon juice on the mince and set it aside for later use
De-shell the boiled eggs and slice them horizontally
Scoop out the boiled yolk from all the eggs and take it in a separate bowl
Mash all the boiled yolks uniformly by applying pressure using your fingers . Add the cooked lamb , garam masala powder , chopped chillies and coriander to the mashed yolk and mix well to create a uniform batter
Using a tablespoon , take tiny portions of the lamb and yolk batter and scoop them onto empty boiled egg craters , levelling them out with the spoon
Fill all the boiled eggs in a similar manner
In a small bowl break an egg and beat it well using a fork . This beaten egg will be used for coating the filled boiled egg halves before they are deep fried
As a final step in a kadai or deep pan take the oil and heat it well . When the oil is hot enough ,add the coated eggs one at a time and deep fry the eggs till they turn a crispy golden brown
Take care while frying as the oil would tend to splatter once the egg is added
Place the fried eggs on a kitchen towel before serving to get rid of the excess oil
Serve this hot mouth watering egg delight alone or with tomato sauce or you can drizzle lime juice
