Egg Chaat Served

Egg Chaat is a delightful fusion of healthy protein and the zesty, tangy flavors of Indian chaat. Instead of boiling eggs on the stovetop, this recipe uses an air fryer for a no-hassle method that yields perfectly cooked eggs every time.

Once cooked, the eggs are sliced and layered with vibrant toppings — fresh onions, tomatoes, green chilies for heat, refreshing coriander, and a drizzle of tangy green chutney. A sprinkle of chaat masala and lime juice ties all the flavors together, while fine sev adds a crunchy texture that makes each bite irresistible.

It’s a versatile recipe: you can serve it as a tea-time snack, a light lunch, or even as a healthy party appetizer. The preparation is quick, and since the eggs are air-fried, you can make them without constantly monitoring a pot of water.

Step 1

Air Fry the Eggs

Place cold eggs straight from the refrigerator into the air fryer basket.

Set temperature to 120°C (248°F) and timer to 20 minutes.

When done, use tongs to transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking.

Tips and Tricks

  1. Don’t overcook eggs — Overcooked eggs can develop a grey ring around the yolk; follow timing closely.
  2. Adjust spice level — Reduce or omit green chilies if you prefer milder flavors.
  3. Extra tang — Add a spoon of tamarind chutney for a sweet-sour twist.
  4. Make it lighter — Skip sev if you want to keep the snack lower in carbs.
  5. Batch prep — Air fry eggs ahead of time and store them unpeeled in the fridge for up to 4 days. Assemble just before serving.
