Ingredients
Method
- 1
Boil the eggs in a pan of water for 10 minutes from the first boil. Cool in cold water, peel and chop.
- 2
While the eggs boil, steam the sprouts over the same pan in a sieve for 3 minutes, or use them raw if you prefer them crunchy.
- 3
Toss the sprouts with cucumber, tomato, onion, lemon, chaat masala, pepper and salt. Top with the eggs and coriander.
Tips
- Boil 6 eggs at once and keep them in the shell in the fridge for 3 quick meals.
- Add 1 tsp olive oil if you want it richer; it adds 45 kcal.
Swaps
- No sprouts? Use 100 g boiled chana or black chana.
Storage
Keep the eggs and salad separate in the fridge for 1 day; assemble before eating.
