I was on a call with maa the other afternoon, when conversationally she said, they were having their evening cha with puffs. And since that mention, I had masala egg puffs recipe on my mind. And also on my to-do list! In fact, it was then I realised that, I hadn’t baked any in a long time. So, my craving for these yummy tea time snack was all the motivation I needed to go to the market, even on a rainy evening. Not that you will need anything extraordinary to bake these yummies. But, the puff pastry block or sheets is something, you might not have in your pantry always. And that’s what even I needed! Besides, that, everything else that you will need for this egg puff recipe is in your kitchen shelves.

Coming to the recipe, it is a real easy one! Also, using a store bought pastry sheets, reduces the overall effort drastically. The only bit you will need to get going with is the stuffing. And I assure you that, it is as easy as it is delicious. So, for my masala egg puffs recipe, I have boiled the eggs first and then made an onion-tomato masala. And both of these can be done simultaneously to save up on time. In fact, these are so quick and easy to make that I normally start prepping these egg puffs just a couple hours ahead of having them. None of it is tedious and is always a breeze to make them when we want some with our chai. You will know what I mean once you make them. 🙂

Easy and versatile recipe

While working with the pastry block or sheets, you will need to keep it frozen. You could let it thaw in the fridge (removing it from the freezer section), beforehand. This will make it slightly easier for your you to manage it. However, do not let the block come to room temperature. Otherwise, all the butter in it will start to ooze out, when you begin rolling it.

My masala egg puffs is a pretty versatile recipe. While I have made them with eggs, you could substitute them for vegetables, paneer or even minced chicken. In fact, when in Mumbai, my two most favorites from a local bakery were their chicken keema puffs and egg puffs. So, that is why when my mum happened to mentioned something so casually about having puffs over the phone, I couldn’t contain my craving for them! These puffs are indeed yummy and so easy to put together. Serve them for brunch, snacks and along with some tea or coffee. They are really enjoyable and loved by everyone.

Hoping that you will like my recipe and also soon bake these puffs yourself too. And when you do, do let me know how you enjoyed them. You can share you food pictures with me on Instagram too.

Eat hearty!
