Method

Poach the eggs in white vinegar and salt and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Trim the egg whites. Prepare the marinade by mixing all the ingredients together. Coat the eggs with the marinade and then roll in breadcrumbs. Deep-fry till golden and crisp.

Take balsamic vinegar in a mixing bowl. Add kasundi mustard, and add salt and pepper to taste. Mix in the extra virgin olive oil drop by drop.

To prepare the goat cheese dressing, whisk together mayonnaise, cream and grated cheese till smooth. Add chaat masala, salt and coriander. Adjust the seasoning and keep aside.

Tear, wash and clean the lettuce in ice-cold water. Keep aside for a few minutes (to give it a crunchy texture). Put in a strainer and remove extra water. Arrange the chopped cucumber on a dish. Toss the rocket leaves in the balsamic dressing and place over the cucumbers. Optionally arrange figs on the plate around the salad leaves. Place golden fried egg fritters on the salad leaves and drizzle goat cheese dressing over it. Serve.
