Dim Bhorta (Mashed Egg with Mustard Oil and Green Chili)

Method

1. 1

   Boil the eggs 10 minutes to a firm set, then cool in cold water and peel.

2. 2

   Mash the eggs roughly with a fork, keeping some texture rather than a smooth paste.

3. 3

   Mix in the onion, green chili, mustard oil and cilantro.

4. 4

   Squeeze in the lemon juice, season with salt, and taste for the balance of sharp, salty and hot.

5. 5

   Rest 5 minutes so the raw onion mellows slightly, then serve at room temperature with hot rice.
