Cool and Serve
Replace the egg with cubes of spiced paneer, boiled potatoes, or a mixed vegetable filling.
Use a spicy minced chicken or lamb (keema) filling instead of the egg and masala.
Increase the amount of green chilies or add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper powder to the masala for extra heat.
Sprinkle with white sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or carom seeds (ajwain) instead of nigella seeds before baking.
Eggs are a complete protein source, providing all the essential amino acids necessary for muscle building, tissue repair, and overall body function.
The recipe uses spices like turmeric, which contains curcumin (a powerful anti-inflammatory), and cumin and fennel, which are known to aid digestion.
The carbohydrates from the puff pastry provide a quick source of energy, making this a satisfying and fulfilling snack.
Each puff contains approximately 270-300 calories, depending on the specific brand of puff pastry and amount of oil used. This is an estimate and can vary.
While delicious, this is an indulgent snack due to the puff pastry, which is high in fat and refined flour. However, the egg provides high-quality protein, and the spices offer some health benefits. It's best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Yes. You can assemble the puffs, place them on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. You can also freeze the unbaked puffs for up to a month. Bake them directly from frozen, adding 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
Absolutely! Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the puffs in the basket in a single layer and air fry for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up, flipping halfway through.
This can happen if the pastry was too warm when it went into the oven, if the oven wasn't preheated properly, or if the edges were not sealed well, allowing steam to escape from the sides instead of pushing the layers up.
These puffs are great on their own or served with mint-coriander chutney, tamarind chutney, or simple tomato ketchup. They also pair wonderfully with a hot cup of masala chai.
