Boil the eggs 10 minutes to a firm set, then cool in cold water and peel.
Mash the eggs roughly with a fork, keeping some texture rather than a smooth paste.
Mix in the onion, green chili, mustard oil and cilantro.
Squeeze in the lemon juice, season with salt, and taste for the balance of sharp, salty and hot.
Rest 5 minutes so the raw onion mellows slightly, then serve at room temperature with hot rice.
Egg bhorta is the fallback bhorta, made when nothing else is left in the kitchen and dinner still needs a hot pan behind it. It sits alongside its eggplant and potato cousins on the daily bhorta plate, valued for coming together in minutes with ingredients that never run out. University mess halls and shared student flats across Bangladesh keep it in near-permanent rotation.
