Fried boiled eggs with spices - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute ghee with other cooking oils that have a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil, coconut oil, or avocado oil. The flavor will be slightly different, but the dish will still be delicious.
Leftover fried boiled eggs are best consumed immediately for optimal quality, but you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The yolks may become a bit dry upon refrigeration.
Absolutely! Feel free to adjust the amount of each spice to suit your personal preference. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of chili powder. For a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or more chili powder.
Besides boiled rice and fresh vegetables, consider serving these eggs with quinoa, couscous, roasted vegetables like broccoli or asparagus, or a simple salad. A side of lentils or chickpeas would also be a great source of protein.
Freezing fried boiled eggs is not recommended, as the texture of the egg whites will become rubbery and the yolks can become watery. It's best to enjoy them fresh.
Yes, you can boil and peel the eggs ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. This will save you time when you're ready to fry them.
After boiling and cooling the eggs, try gently tapping the shell all over to create small cracks. Then, start peeling under cool running water. The water helps to separate the shell from the egg.
While the recipe is designed for frying, you could potentially bake the eggs after coating them in the spiced oil. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), place the egg halves in a baking dish, and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. The texture will be slightly different than frying.
This recipe is naturally relatively low in carbs, but to keep it that way, focus on low-carb side dishes like steamed or sauteed non-starchy vegetables, such as spinach, asparagus, or zucchini noodles. Avoid serving with rice or other grains.
