Egg Puffs



The thought of egg puffs brings back fond memories of my college days. The bakery near my hostel sold the tastiest puffs in the world. That too, egg puffs. An egg puff and Sharjah shake was always the popular combination at that hangout. It was just fantabulous. I was trying to recreate that aroma and taste. Though I couldn't match that taste, it was pretty close. :)


Ingredients
  • Puff pastry sheets : 1 
  • Eggs : 3 
  • Chopped onions : 2 cups
  • Ginger paste : 1 T 
  • Garlic paste : 1 T 
  • Coriander Powder : 1 t 
  • Garam masala : 2 pinch 
  • Turmeric powder : 1/4 t 
  • Red chilli powder : 1 t 
  • Salt as required 
  • Oil : 3 T 


Method

Preparing
  • Thaw the pastry sheet by leaving it out in room temperature for about an hour or so. 
  • Boil the eggs and take the shell. 
  • Cut each egg vertically(lengthwise)into two halves.
For the stuffing
  • Heat oil in the pan. Fry onion until it gets brown. 
  • Then add ginger and garlic paste. Fry till its smell goes. 
  • Then add garam masala, coriander powder and red chilly powder.
  • Add egg halves, fry for 2 minutes.
  • Egg filling is ready now.
Setting everything

  • Slowly unfold the sheet and cut into 6 square pieces. 
  • Roll each piece with rolling pin to make it little thinner.
  • Put egg half in each of them along with onion Gravy, bring two corners into middle and close them with help of little water.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit. 
  • Place the prepared puffs on a baking tray and bake for 30 to 45 minutes or till they turn golden brown.

The Kitchen Affaire turns One :)

The afternoon breeze and the sound of rustling leaves is so soothing. So here I sit, enjoying this change of weather, to pen memories of last year. Gosh!! I cant believe that - The Kitchen Affaire; is turning "One". :) Time does fly. Last year has been very eventful. An year that changed my title from: a carefree mommy's gal to an "adorable" ("A" would not agree with this!! hi hi) wife; an IT engineer to a house-wife;  and a huge move from my home in Kerala (India) to a new home in Houston (U.S.A). It feels like all of this happened in a blink of an eye. All this change wouldn't have sunk in so easily if not for my hubby dear. :)   Starting this blog was not impromptu. I used to blog during my college days. But this time I wanted a blog meant only for my cooking experiments or challenges. After settling down in our lovely apartment, I slowly started my cooking experiments. Initially I would jot all of it in a notebook. Then I decided not to a
