Eggs & Pastry

  • 10 - 12 Boiled Eggs
  • 20 - 24 Puff Pastry squares 4 x 4 inches approximately
  • 1 beaten Egg

Onion paste

  • 2 tbsps Coconut Oil
  • 2 tbsps regular Oil
  • More Oil as needed
  • 360 gms - 2 cups sliced red Onions
  • 2 tsps finely chopped Ginger
  • 1/2 cup sliced Chillies
  • 1/2 cup Curry leaves
  • 1 tsp Cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp Fennel seeds
  • 1 tbsp Garam masala
  • 2 tbsps Kashmiri Chilli powder
  • Add Salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black Peppercorns
  • 2 tbsps Ketchup
  • Coriander

Instructions
 

  • Heat up the Coconut & regular Oil
  • Saute the Onions for 10 - 15 mins stirring in between to allow the Onions to caramelize
  • Add a bit more oil if needed
  • Add the finely chopped Ginger
  • Add the sliced Chillies & Curry leaves
  • Add the Cumin & Fennel seeds
  • Add the Garam masala & Kashmiri Chilli powder
  • Add Salt to taste and Pepper
  • To bring it all together add the Ketchup - it will make everything all beautiful and jammy
  • Finish off with some Coriander
  • To each puff pastry square slap and spread some of the mixture on to the middle of a square
  • Add half a boiled egg cut side down
  • I like to add more of the onion paste on top .. you will use about a tbsp per patty
  • Using egg wash, wet the edges and pull over each other to seal and pinch the edges, but there’s no need to totally seal
  • These puffs often tend to open in the oven so sealing with egg wash helps keep them together
  • Another thing that helps them to stick together is turning them upside down on the board till you get them all done
  • Once these are all done, pop them on a baking tray with some parchment paper
  • Brush the pastries with Egg wash and this will ensure they are nice and golden brown
  • Cook this in a preheated oven for about 30 mins till the pastry is nice and golden brown.
  • Serve with Ketchup and enjoy
