Ingredients

• 4 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 2 tablespoons Oil
• 1 teaspoon Ginger garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh coriander leaves
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Begin by boiling the eggs: place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a full boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let them simmer for 9-10 minutes.

Step 2

While the eggs are boiling, finely chop the onion and prepare the spices (red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, and coriander powder).

Step 3

Once the eggs are boiled, transfer them to an ice bath to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs and set aside.

Step 4

In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until they turn translucent.

Step 5

Add ginger garlic paste to the sautéed onions, stirring for a minute until aromatic.

Step 6

Add the spices (red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, coriander powder) and salt. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes until the mixture is well combined and fragrant.

Step 7

Slice the boiled eggs in half lengthwise and sprinkle them with salt and black pepper.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 9

Roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut them into 4 equal squares. If necessary, roll the squares slightly to fit around the eggs.

Step 10

Place a tablespoon of the onion spice mixture in the center of each pastry square.

Step 11

Place one egg half on top of the mixture on each pastry square, yolk side up.

Step 12

Fold the edges of the pastry over the egg and press gently to seal, using a little water if needed.

Step 13

Place the assembled egg puffs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 14

Brush the tops of the puffs with a little oil or a beaten egg to get a golden color after baking.

Step 15

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is fully puffed and golden brown.

Step 16

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving warm.
