Instructions

  • Add tomato sauce, turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chilly powder, pepper powder, garam masala, salt and fry for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Cut the pastry sheet into 4 square pieces. Spoon the onion mixture on the middle of each pastry square and place a halved egg on it.
  • Fold all the corners of the pastry to the center on top of the egg and slightly press to seal the top and sides. Gently brush with egg wash.
  • Place on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until it turns golden brown.
