Dimer Debil

One of my favourite Calcutta dishes. Never been able to replicate the taste, but won't stop trying. Proportions depend on the amount to be made.

Boil eggs, cut lengthwise and keep aside
Boil and mash potatoes
Make some keema (I fried soya nuggets with onions, tomatoes, ginger-garlic paste, red chillies, garam masala powder and salt).
Mix keema with mashed potatoes, and mould it on top of the egg halves, so it looks like a complete egg.
Make a batter with besan, a pinch of turmeric, salt and water. Coat the eggs in the batter and deep fry.
Serve hot with ketchup/ mustard sauce.
