Spicy Tiffin Eggs
These aromatic Korma Eggs are a delightful twist on the classic Scotch Egg. The eggs are encased in a flavorful mixture of caramelized onions, grated carrots, and fragrant curry paste, then coated in crunchy granary breadcrumbs and roasted cashews. Each bite offers a harmonious blend of textures and flavors, making this dish a perfect starter or light meal.

Ingredients
- 7 large eggs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion , chopped
- 250g grated carrots
- 2 heaped tbsp Korma paste
- 200g granary bread crumbs
- 85g roasted cashews , finely chopped
Instructions
- Put 6 of the eggs in a pan of cold water and bring to the boil. Boil for 5 mins, then cool quickly in cold water. Carefully shell. It's important to always use the egg size stated in the recipe.
- While the eggs are cooling, heat the oil, fry the onion for 5 mins, then add the carrot and cook for 10 mins more until soft. Stir in the curry paste and fry for a few mins more. Stir in the bread, then, when the mixture is cool, beat the remaining egg and stir in with seasoning to make a paste.
- Divide the mixture into 6 and flatten with your hands (if the mixture you’re using to coat the eggs in is a little sticky and clinging to your hands rather than the egg, wet your hands a little, or rub with a drop of sunflower oil), then use to wrap round each egg – the mixture will seal well as you press it together. Roll in the cashews and chill until ready to cook. Rolling peeled eggs in a dusting of flour can help your coating mixture to stick if you’re having trouble. The prepared eggs can be kept in the fridge overnight.
- Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5, then bake the eggs for 15-20 mins. Cool for 5 mins, then carefully cut in half using a very sharp knife. Serve with a bowl of mango chutney and a salad to make a main meal.
