Kolkata Dim er Devil
What’s in a name? A lot, especially when it’s a snack that’s been around for generations 😁
The “devil” comes from an old British cooking method where spiced or fried dishes were called “deviled" because it was bold and fiery.
The British Raj in Kolkata likely inspired Dim er Devil, similar to British scotch eggs. But while scotch eggs are wrapped in meat, we Bengalis use a spicy potato coating around the boiled egg and fry it to crispy perfection.
With that crunchy outside, spicy filling, and soft egg center, it’s devilishly delicious and soul satisfying 🤤
Dim er Devil is now a go-to snack for Kolkatans. Infact, you’ll find them everywhere during Durga Puja, and other times at telebhaja shops in Kolkata.
And if you enjoy cooking, you could make them easily at home 🙌
