Equipment

Ingredients

  • 375 grams Puff Pastry sheet
  • 4 Hard boiled eggs
  • 2 tablespoon Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Red chilli powder
  • 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Turmeric powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Garam masala
  • 1 Finely chopped onion (medium)
  • 1 Chopped tomato (medium)
  • 2-3 tablespoon Water
  • 2 tablespoon Milk optional
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Hard boil the eggs. Peel and slice them lengthwiseinto half. Set aside
  • As I am using ready-to-roll sheets, I took out the pastry sheets from the refrigerator 10 minutes before I began the process.
  • Heat a pan with oil on medium heat, add chopped onions, and a pinch of salt and cook, occasionally stirring until they turn translucent and lightly browned on the edges.
    2 tablespoon Oil, 1 Finely chopped onion (medium)
  • Add tomatoes, red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder and 2- 3 tablespoon of water.
    1 teaspoon Red chilli powder, 1 teaspoon Coriander powder, ¼ teaspoon Turmeric powder, 1 Chopped tomato (medium), ¼ teaspoon Garam masala
  • Mix well and cover and cook for 2-3 minutes until all the mixture is nicely cooked and the raw smell goes. Turn off the heat. Set aside to cool.
  • Next, carefully remove the pastry sheet and cut it into 8 equal rectangles.

  • Place 1 tablespoon of the prepared onion mixture in the centre.
  • Then place half an egg on top with the yoke side down.
  • Bring the opposite corners of the puff pastry over the egg and pinch lightly to seal it
  • Brush milk on top of the puffs. Repeat the same process with the rest of the sheets.
  • Place the puffs in the air fryer basket in a single layer leaving some space between them.
  • Place the basket back into the air fryer and set the timer for 8-9 minutes at 180 C (350 F)
  • Once the timer goes off, remove the basket from the air fryer and check whether they are done or not
  • The golden brown colour indicates they are perfectly done. If not keep it for another 2-3 minutes extra.
  • Enjoy crispy and delicious bakery-style puffs with your green chutney or ketchup

How to make egg puffs in the oven

  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the puffs on the tray in a single layer by leaving some space between them

Notes

When working with puff pastry you should work quickly before it loses its shape.
Here I have used ready-to-use pastry sheets and I followed the instructions on the package. So if you are using frozen sheets, plan ahead and thaw the sheets at least 30 minutes before you being the process.
Don't pull the sheets when they are frozen, they can break easily.
If you think pastry sheets are getting difficult to roll sprinkle some plain flour and roll.
Allow the onion masala to cool completely before placing it on the sheets.
When placing the puffs in the air fryer leave some space between each of them. so that they can puff up easily and cook evenly
