Dim'er Devil—Egg Devil—Calcutta Cabin Style Spicy Scotch Eggs—Kolkata Street Food—Durga Pujo Special

Dim’er Devil may sound like devilled eggs, but is in reality much closer to the Scotch egg or the Nargisi kofta. A basic dim’er devil has one or half an egg encased in a spicy wrapping. The outer wrapping is usually potato for egg devils sold in street-side stalls in Calcutta. In cabins or older dine in cafes/restaurants the egg is wrapped in minced meat cooked with spices. Finally, the whole thing is coated in breadcrumb or in a batter and deep-dried. Dim’er devil is served with kasundi, and a simple salad of onions, cucumbers and beetroots.

In this Durga-Pujo-special video we have chosen the more festive cabin-style dimer devil that is made with minced mutton. We have borrowed heavily from the Niranjanagar’s devil recipe available on YouTube on the Uttar Bangla channel (linked below).
