Devilled eggs with green chutney
Two hard-boiled eggs, halved, with the yolks mashed into a tablespoon of thick mint and coriander chutney and spooned back in. The plate is 182 kcal, 12.8 g protein and 1.9 g net carbohydrate.
Why this dish works
Devilled eggs are usually held together with mayonnaise. Using thick green chutney instead keeps the fat where it came from, in the yolk, and adds nothing but herbs.
Under 2 g of carbohydrate for 12.8 g of protein makes this the easiest snack on the site to fit into any plan. It is also the one clients actually make, because it needs no cooking skill.
Peel eggs under running water starting from the fat end, where the air pocket is. Eggs that fight you are usually too fresh, so keep them a week before boiling.
What you need
Makes one plate, two eggs:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp thick mint and coriander chutney
- ¼ tsp roasted cumin powder
- A pinch of chaat masala
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Red chilli flakes, to finish
How to make it
Boil the eggs for nine minutes from the moment the water boils, then move them straight into cold water. Nine minutes gives a yolk that is set but not chalky.
Peel them, halve them lengthwise and lift the yolks out into a small bowl.
Mash the yolks with the green chutney, the roasted cumin, salt and pepper until it is smooth and thick enough to hold its shape.
Spoon the mixture back into the whites, and finish with chaat masala and chilli flakes.

Figures are for two large hard-boiled eggs with 1 tbsp of thick green chutney. A chutney made with sugar or roasted gram would raise the carbohydrate.
Who this suits
It is a genuine snack rather than a meal, which makes it useful on a weight loss plan at four in the afternoon, when the alternative is a biscuit.
If you have been told to avoid eggs because of cholesterol, read the eggs and cholesterol page first. The advice has changed and most people have not heard.
