1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Divide the mixture into 6 and flatten with your hands (wetting them makes this a bit easier), 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. The prepared eggs can be kept in the fridge overnight.
4. 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.

  These are absolutely fantastic - their simple appearance belies how tasty they are. Perfect for picnics, to serve with drinks or for lunch with salad. A great protein boost for vegetarians, too.

  a little bit of advice for anyone making this - put a little oil on your hands before rolling the mixture around the boiled eggs. that way it will stick to the egg and not just your hands! tastes good though.

  These were fabulously tasty. I used large eggs and they looked like dinosaur eggs so would advise using small eggs - wetting the hands to make them roll up properly is a must.

  I really enjoyed these - I used madras curry paste as I like things quite spicy, they were a big hit with meat eaters too.

  These eggs were tasty and a great addition to our picnic, quite filling! I used a kashmiri paste and toasted pine nuts, which I crushed, as I had these in already. The only problem was that I found it almost impossible for the paste to stick to the eggs, don't know how you can get around it. Also, I used medium eggs and think that if you used large then there may not be enough mix to cover the eggs.

  I love making these and they taste good. I find it easier to lightly flour the worktop and roll out enough mixture with a rolling pin to cover an egg before patting it round the egg; you don't have to handle it as much. It's good served with a cucumber, yogurt and mint dip too, and a salad with tomatoes and balsamic vinegar with spring onions.

  I found the mixture difficult to stick to the egg too. They make a great packed lunch for my children for school, accompanied with a small salad.

  Absolutely yummy! I wet my hands before flattening out the mix and it worked fine. Don't try sticking it to the egg, just wrap it round and stick it to itself.

  I loved these tiffin eggs. As a vegetarian, I was really pleased to find an equivalent to Scotch Eggs. The day I made them I was craving eggs for some reason and this recipe hit the spot! These have become a firm favourite in my house. My tip would be to make them the day before you need them, as the flavours really develop overnight and they are much spicier the next day.
