Flaky bakery-style egg puffs filled with spiced caramelized onion masala and hard-boiled eggs. These savory pastries are crisp, flavorful, and perfect with chai or ketchup.

Ingredients

  • 1 puff pastry sheet, cut into 4 portions
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, halved
  • 1 raw egg, beaten with 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 4 to 5 fresh curry leaves
  • 2 cups (200 grams) red onions, sliced and layers separated
  • 1 green chili, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon Kashmiri chili powder
  • 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground or crushed fennel seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed pepper
  • 2 tablespoons water or 1 tbsp tomato ketchup mixed with 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Heat coconut oil in a wide pan over medium heat. Add onions, green chili, curry leaves, and salt. Saute until the onions are golden and evenly caramelized.
  2. Stir in the ginger garlic paste and cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
  3. Reduce the heat and mix in the Kashmiri chili powder, garam masala, fennel seeds, and crushed pepper. Add water or the ketchup mixture and cook for another minute. Turn off the heat and let the onion masala cool completely.
  4. Meanwhile, thaw the puff pastry sheet at room temperature until easy to handle. Cut the sheet into 4 equal portions.
  5. Place 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of onion masala in the center of each pastry piece. Top with a halved hard-boiled egg, yolk side facing down.
  6. Fold one corner of the pastry over the egg, then bring the opposite corner over it and press gently to seal. Repeat with the remaining corners, leaving a small gap for steam to escape.
  7. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and milk mixture. Refrigerate the prepared puffs for 15 to 20 minutes.
  8. Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C). Bake the egg puffs for 18 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown, crisp, and flaky.
  9. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use store-bought puff pastry for convenience and best flaky texture.
  • Deseed the green chili for a milder spice level.
  • Smaller ovens or toaster ovens may require less baking time.
  • Serve warm with ketchup and masala chai.
  • Leftover onion masala can be used as a sandwich or wrap filling.
