2.Add oil to the pan,when hot add the fennel and then sliced onion.Add ginger garlic paste and curry leaf when the onion turns golden brown.Add all the powders(chilly powder,coriander powder,garam masala,pepper powder).We can also use chicken masala instead of garam masala.

3.Add tomato ketchup and mix well.If ketchup is not available we can use tomato instead.

4.Spread some masala in the center of a puff pastry piece.Place one half of boiled egg above the masala with egg yolk facing the masala.Stick the corners of the pastry sheet at the center with fingers.

5.Beat one egg and brush it on the top of the prepared puffs.It gives a glossy finish to the puffs.

6.Line the baking tray with the parchment sheets and place the puffs on the tray.Bake for 20-25 minutes on 200 degree celsius/400 degree fahrenheit.We can make 6 puffs by this.Serve warm after 25 minutes.
