Notes
I have retained the yolks in the boiled eggs to make the dish. You may make it only with egg whites if you want.
If the batter is too thick, the eggs will not fry nicely.
I dust the egg pieces with loose maida initially as it helps in properly coating them with the batter later.
Fry the coated eggs over a medium to high flame or else the batter will come off during frying.
Flash frying the eggs renders proper crispiness.
