Ingredients




3 hard boiled eggs (cooked through all the way, cooled, and shelled)
2 shallots, sliced thinly
1 red chilli, deseeded and sliced thinly
For the sauce

1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons tamarind pulp (if you don't have this, use double the amount of lemon or 
1 tablespoon chicken stock (I used kecap manis for a vegetarian versi
Boil and simmer briefly so that it thickens. Leave aside to cool.

Preparation

1 Use a toothpick and prick the surface of the hard boiled eggs all over. Just at the surface, not all the way through! 2 In a skillet, heat some oil. Fry the eggs over a low flame until uniformly golden and crispy. Keep moving them around to prevent any one part from burning. 3 Drain off excess oil and allow eggs to cool, then halve them lengthwise. Arrange on a serving plate. 4 Fry the shallots and chilli in oil till fragrant. 5 Spoon the shallots and chilli over the eggs. 6 Drizzle with sauce before eating.
