In Bengal, one of the famous street food is 'Dimer chop or Egg devil’. Nowadays,this 'Egg Devil' is also served in many parties, get togethers and occasions. To make this you have to wrap a boiled egg with spicy potato filling, roll them in bread crumbs and then deep fry them. Sometimes some minced mutton (keema) is mixed with the spicy potato and the taste becomes heavenly. But today I am sharing this recipe without keema. This yummy evening snack can be enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee.

3 eggs.
1 big (boiled, peeled, mashed) potato.
2 bay leaves.

Salt and sugar (as per taste).
1 teaspoon of black pepper powder.
2 chopped green chilies.
A handful of chopped coriander leaves.
