An Indian twist to the traditional deviled eggs recipe by using mango chutney and garam masala!
It all started with organizing a potluck at work. One of my colleague Nitya Malhotra made these Indian flavored deviled eggs and we all couldn’t stop relishing it!! Next, asked her for the recipe and tried it on my own. Ever since, I haven’t looked back 😉 This is always a hit as an appetizer or side dish at any party, potluck or even as a quick breakfast on busy mornings!
So where did the term deviled eggs come from?
The cooking term devil means ‘to chop food finely and mix with hot seasoning or sauce, usually after cooking’, which describes the process of making these eggs. Hence the name!
The terms “stuffed eggs”, “salad eggs” or “dressed eggs”, or “angel eggs” are also used, particularly when served in connection with church functions, avoiding the name “Devil.” The term “angel eggs” is also used in association with deviled eggs stuffed with “healthier” alternatives[Source: wikipedia]
