Tips to make a perfect egg Manchurian recipe:
- Greasing the vessel with oil before cooking the egg will make it easy to remove.
- Covering the tiffin box will keep water vapor from entering into it.
- Placing a lid over the wide vessel makes the egg cook inside the tiffin.
- After pouring the egg into the tiffin box, it should cover 1-inch thickness so that we get perfect cubes after cutting. If needed change the box or add a few more eggs by adjusting salt.
- If you have a rectangular shape vessel then it becomes easy to slice into a cube shape.
- The batter should not be runny or else it will not stick properly.
- If you want to eat spicily we may add a large spoonful of schezwan sauce.
- Ajinomoto is optional and is not recommended for children below 5 years and pregnant women.
