How to Boil Eggs for the Perfect Protein Supplemen

How to Boil Eggs for the Perfect Protein Supplement

Looking for a quick and easy way to get your daily dose of protein? Look no further than boiled eggs! Boiled eggs are a great source of protein, and they’re also very versatile. You can eat them plain, add them to salads, or use them as a protein boost in your favorite recipes.

Here are the steps on how to boil eggs to get the perfect protein supplement:

1. Start with cold eggs. Bringing eggs to a boil from room temperature will help them cook evenly.
2. Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Fill the saucepan with enough cold water to cover the eggs by at least 1 inch.
3. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
4. Once the water is boiling, cover the saucepan and remove it from the heat.
5. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs, 7 minutes for medium-boiled eggs, or 8 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
6. Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
7. Let the eggs cool in the ice water for 5 minutes before peeling them.

Here are some tips for boiling eggs to get the perfect protein supplement:

* Use large eggs for the best results.
* If you are boiling more than 6 eggs, increase the cooking time by 1 minute per additional egg.
* If you want to peel the eggs easily, start peeling them under cold running water.
* Store hard-boiled eggs in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Here is a table of the cooking times for different types of boiled eggs:

| Type of Egg | Cooking Time |
|—|—|
| Soft-boiled | 6 minutes |
| Medium-boiled | 7 minutes |
| Hard-boiled | 8 minutes |

Enjoy your protein-packed boiled eggs!

Malenadu Thindi: Unde Kadabu

Hot unde kadabu: the taste of home.

Unde kadabu is a traditional Karnataka dish made with rice flour, water, salt, and grated coconut. It is a popular breakfast item and is also served as a snack or dessert. The dish is made by steaming the rice flour mixture in a special mould called a unde kadabu pan. The pan has a series of small holes in the bottom, which allows the steam to escape and cook the dumplings evenly.

Unde kadabu is a light and fluffy dish with a slightly sweet flavor. The coconut adds a bit of richness and texture. The dish is often served with a chutney or curry.
