An easy, lighter snack for busy days.]]>

If you want a protein-rich Indian snack without deep-frying, these Tandoori Egg Kebabs are a simple air-fryer option. Boiled eggs are marinated in hung curd, ginger-garlic, chilli and warming spices, then cooked until the coating turns lightly crisp and aromatic. They work well as a post-workout or evening snack when paired with a balanced meal plan.

Ingredients
  1. 4 boiled eggs
  2. 100 g hung curd (or Greek yogurt)
  3. 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
  4. 1 tsp Kashmiri red chilli powder
  5. ½ tsp turmeric powder
  6. ½ tsp coriander powder
  7. ½ tsp garam masala
  8. ½ tsp roasted cumin powder
  9. 1 tsp lemon juice
  10. Salt, to taste
  11. 1 tsp oil (or oil spray)/No Oil
How to Make It
  1. Lightly score the boiled eggs so the marinade can cling to the surface.
  2. Mix hung curd, spices, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice and salt.
  3. Coat the eggs and marinate for 15–20 minutes.
  4. Preheat the ENSIEN air fryer if your model recommends preheating. Arrange the eggs in a single layer.
  5. Air fry at 180°C for about 9 minutes, turning halfway for even browning.
  6. Garnish with coriander and serve with mint chutney.
Air Fryer Tips for Better Results
  • Use thick hung curd so the coating stays on the eggs.
  • Score the eggs gently rather than cutting deeply.
  • For more browning, use a light oil spray rather than adding a large amount of oil.
  • Keep space between the eggs so hot air can circulate.

Frequently Asked Questions
  • Can I make Tandoori Egg Kebabs without deep-frying?

Use 180°C and cook for about 9 minutes, turning halfway. Air fryers vary, so check the coating near the end.
