Assemble the Puffs
Bake to Perfection
For a vegetarian version, replace the boiled eggs with paneer cubes or a mix of boiled vegetables like potatoes, peas, and carrots.
To make it spicier, add 1-2 finely chopped green chilies along with the onions. For a milder version, reduce or omit the red chili powder.
Instead of nigella seeds, you can use white sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or a sprinkle of kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) before baking.
You can cut the pastry into circles and fold them into half-moons, or use two circles to create a round puff.
Eggs are a complete protein source, containing all nine essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair, immune function, and overall body maintenance.
The combination of carbohydrates from the pastry and healthy fats from cashews and oil provides a significant source of energy.
Cashews contribute heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which can help in managing cholesterol levels when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
One serving, which consists of two puffs, contains approximately 500-550 calories. The exact number can vary based on the brand of puff pastry used.
Egg Korma Puffs are a source of high-quality protein from eggs. However, puff pastry is high in refined carbohydrates and saturated fats. They are best enjoyed as an occasional treat or in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Yes. The korma filling can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can also assemble the puffs, place them on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 4 hours before baking.
Absolutely. Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Place the puffs in the basket in a single layer and air fry for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up. You may need to work in batches.
The most common cause of soggy pastry is using a warm or wet filling. Ensure your korma filling is thick and has cooled down to room temperature completely before you assemble the puffs.
Store leftover puffs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat and restore crispiness, place them in a preheated oven or air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 5-7 minutes. Avoid using a microwave, as it will make the pastry soft.
