Alright, the two key components in these egg puffs are curried eggs and puff pastry.
The curried eggs make the filling of the pastry. While you are boiling the eggs, start with the sauce. The sauce needs a quick tempering of mustard seeds followed by sauteing the onions until they are lightly browned. Ginger, garlic and green chilies also gets a quick fry in the oil. From there, you can just add the ground spices (coriander, turmeric, garam masala and red chilli powder), and fry them in the oil. And there you go. The sauce part of the filling is ready!
Once the eggs are ready, remove the shells and cut them in halves.
