- 1 tsp coriander powder
- ½ tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp red chili powder

Instructions
- Slice four hard-boiled eggs using a cotton thread or a knife. Put them on a plate aside.
- Next, take 2 pieces roughly diced medium-sized onions, 8 peeled garlic cloves, and 2 pieces of large green chilies (broken into small pieces) in a chopper and chop them finely. When done, grate ½-inch size ginger and add to it. Keep it aside. (Pro tip: Typically, choppers cannot chop small pieces of ginger finely. So, it is better to grate it later).
- Now, fry the chopped mixture until golden in 2 tbsp mustard oil in a pan on a medium flame. (Pro Tip: Do not use paste of onion/ginger/garlic; always chop them and use. It adds to the taste and crunchiness in every bite).
- The, add 1 tsp of cumin powder, 1 tsp of coriander powder, ½ tsp of turmeric powder, 1 tsp of red chili powder and cook them for a minute. (Pro tip: Since no water is added, keep the flame low and stir continuously to prevent the masala from burning).
- Next, add 3 pieces of large potatoes (boiled, peeled, and grated), ½ tsp of black salt, ½ tsp of regular salt, ½ tsp of garam masala powder, and 1.5 tsp of spice mix (roasted and ground cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and dry red chilies). Mix and cook for 4 minutes until dry. Now, add a handful of finely chopped coriander leaves and mix it. Transfer it to a plate and spread it with the spatula to cool faster. (Pro tip: The stuffing must be dry, otherwise it will leak out during frying. If it is not as dry as desired, you may add a bit of bread crumbs or crushed biscuits.).
- Now, press flat a small portion of the potato mixture on your palm, place one half egg (cut side down), and cover it completely with the stuffing. (Pro tip: If the egg pieces are not covered properly, it will break and fall apart while frying).
- Now, in 3 separate containers take corn flour,2 eggs, and bread crumbs. Season them with salt and black pepper powder. Optionally, add a bit of roasted masala mix to the bread crumbs for extra flavor.
- Now, coat a piece with corn flour, then with egg mixture, and finally with bread crumbs.
- Repeat the steps to double coat. Keep them aside on a plate for about 10 minutes to set properly. (Pro tip: Double coating prevents the chances of breaking while frying the egg devils).
- Now, fry the coated egg devils in hot oil. Flip occasionally until golden brown. Remove when done.
- Your homemade egg devils are ready. Serve them with mustard sauce and onion rings.

Notes
Cutting the eggs with a string ensures uniform cutting.
I like to have these egg devils coated twice since it makes them seem crisper and better.
I have used mustard oil as it adds to the taste and flavor.
Fry egg devils in a medium flame for a crispy brown exterior and soft interior.
Adjust spices to your liking while making the potato mixture.
