Egg puffs

EGG PUFFS

Egg puffs are Puff pastry stuffed with Egg halves , fried Onions and spices. There is also another method in which they use only Puff pastry and Egg half. But I am mostly familiar with this one.

It is a very popular snack in Canteens, Bakeries back at Kerala. There is a bakery near my home from where me & my brother used to buy snacks from childhood. We were regular customers in that bakery and the shopkeeper knows us very well.Sometimes we used to get 1 or 2 puffs for free.
Their are also Meat puffs which are also my favourite, but i will try them later..

Boiled Eggs - 6
Onion - 4 big 600 gm

Green chilly - 2 medium chopped

Chilly powder - 1/2 sp

Add the crushed Garam masala spices & Meat masala in the last min. Saute for 1 min.

Finally add 3 spoons water , because we want the filling to be little bit wet.
Onion filling is done.

Take a puff pastry sheet in a wooden board.Sprinkle enough dough on both sides to avoid it form sticking to the rolling pin. Roll it a little bit using the rolling pin , to make it almost like a square .

Place 2 sp onion filling in the center & spread it.
Place 1/2 of an Egg on it.

Then fold it to make puffs.
