About Egg chop

Egg Chop is a popular dish consisting of eggs that are hard-boiled, coated in a seasoned batter, and deep-fried to golden perfection. Originating from South Asian cuisine, particularly in Bengali and Indian households, Egg Chop often features a flavorful mix of mashed potatoes, spices like cumin and chili powder, and fresh herbs such as cilantro. The egg halves are encased within this potato-spice mixture, dipped in flour or breadcrumbs, and fried until crisp. While Egg Chop is rich in protein from the eggs, its healthiness can vary depending on preparation. The deep-frying process introduces extra calories and fats, making it a more indulgent dish. However, baking or air frying can be healthier alternatives. The dish often delivers dietary fiber and essential vitamins from the potatoes and spices, balancing flavor with some nutritional benefits. Traditionally served as a snack or appetizer, Egg Chop pairs well with chutneys or fresh salads.
