Coconut Egg Pakodas are a popular snack and appetizer in Indian cuisine. They are made by coating hard-boiled egg quarters in a paste made of grated coconut and green chilies, then dipping them in a batter made of flour and beaten egg before deep-frying until golden brown. The result is a dish that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a unique flavor profile that is sure to delight your taste buds. Coconut Egg Pakodas are easy to make and a great addition to any meal or party menu.

Instructions

1.	Grind together grated coconut and green chilies to a fine paste. Add salt and mix well.
2.	In a bowl, combine flour, beaten egg, and salt. Mix well and add water as needed to create a smooth batter.
3.	Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Dip each hard-boiled egg quarter in the coconut mixture until fully coated, then dip it into the batter to coat.
4.	Carefully add coated egg quarters to the hot oil and fry for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
