Description

There are times when your mind gets blank and does not work like it always does. Right now, I am in that state of blankness about this dish and what to recollect or write about it. A dish i got to know only recently after one of my cousin sister was married to a town in Tamil Nadu called eroad. Well, nothing out of the box but a tamilian reinterpretation done to the British scotch eggs and the North Indian nargisi koftas. We being a large family (hubby dear often address’s our family as a circus family) with 28 first cousins. All married with Tamil, Malayalam and Urdu speaking spouses. The latest addition, my last cousin brother’s NRI wife. So our food habits have also taken twists and turns as each addition to the family has its own influence through food and culture. I make sure to steal the authentic new recipes from every one for sure. Like wise this recipe was one such. I do make the same with quill eggs at time’s which is apt for single serving and adds a surprise element to the dish when bit in to see an egg inside letting temptation take over your senses. This dish is a perfect harmony of goodness and taste that I consider is best served during a festive season meal to create a memorable spread. So rock it with these sophisticated accompaniment In style all.

• Place one boiled egg in the middle and slowly cover the boiled egg entirely with the minced meat mix with no cracks and holes.

Notes

• Make sure to use the exact quantity of ingredients mentioned or else the minced meat cover will not taste or turn out good.
• While grinding the mixture don’t add water.Or else it will absorb more oil.
• Heat oil in medium flame to deep fry. If fried in high flame the outer layer becomes dark soon but it will not get cooked inside.
• you can follow the same to do chicken kola urundai.
• Make sure there are no cracks before deep frying the mutta kaima urundai as they tend to suck in oil and look terrible.
