  • 2 Tbsp. Yellow Mustard Seed
  • 2 Tbsp. Black Mustard Seed
  • 4 Tbsp. Coconut Paste
  • 3 Tbsp. Plain Yogurt
  • 6 Green Chillies
  • 1 Tbsp. Poppy Seed aka Posto
  • 1 Tsp. Turmeric Powder
  • 1 Tsp. Red Chilli Powder

Instructions

  • %Making Dim Bhapa
  • Hard-boil Duck egg and remove the skin once the eggs are done.
  • Soak mustard seed in lukewarm water along with ½ tsp. salt for 15 minutes.
  • Soak Poppyseed aka Posto as well in lukewarm water separately.

To make Dim Bhapa over gas-stove:

  • Take a deep bottom pan and boil 3 cups of water.
  • Now make a paste of the mustard along with 2 green chilies.
  • After that strain the mixture and discard the husk.
  • In addition, make a paste of Poppyseed.
  • In a container take the mustard paste along with, Posto bata aka Poppy seed paste, Coconut Paste, Plain Yogurt, Turmeric Powder, Red Chilli Powder, and also salt.
  • Add 2 Tbsp. Mustard oil and mix to make a smooth paste.
  • Add green chili slits and also 1 cup of water to make the mixture runny.
  • Now add boiled eggs so that the eggs are covered with gravy.
  • I prefer to use half of the egg whole and I cut the rest of the eggs in half and then use those.
  • Place the lid to seal the container.
  • Place a stand inside the deep-bottom pan which has boiling water.
  • Now place the container with the egg over the stand.
  • There should be ⅓ of water inside the pan which must cover halfway through the container.
  • Cover the pan with a lid and cook over a slow flame for 20 minutes.
  • Switch the flame off and wait till you can handle the container with your hands.
  • It is better to open the container for at least after 20-30 minutes.
  • Top the bhapa with 1 Tbsp. Mustard oil and give a thorough mix.

To make Bhapa Dim in Microwave:

  • Take the mixture in a microwave oven-safe container with a lid.
  • Take a bigger bowl and pour 2 cups of water.
  • Place the container.
  • Microwave the bhapa for 20 minutes on 60% heat.

To serve!

  • Serve it hot with steamed rice.

Notes

  • Instead of a Duck egg, you can use a normal poultry egg or organic egg.
  • You can skip both coconut and yogurt or can use either of these.
  • Posto bata aka Poppy seed paste is also optional however, Dim Posto bhapa is a must-have if you like posto!
  • Instead of mustard paste, Kashundi can also be used to make bhapa.
