Deviled eggs

Deviled egg is a very easy cold appetizer or snack served in European and American countries.
They are just boiled eggs cut into half and the yolks are mixed with mayo and a choice of ingredients and filled back in. You can add onions or celery or any spice of your choice into that mixture, purely your decision. Below is my version.

1) Eggs - 6

2)Mayonaise - about 4 to 5 tbsp
salt - a pinch
pepper powder - 1 or 2 pinches
chilli powder - 1 or 2 pinches
garam masala - 1 or 2 pinches
chopped red onion - 1 or 2 tbsp

3)some chopped up carrot or cilantro for decoration

Hard boil the eggs just right. We do not want the greenish ring to form around the yolk and give the bad sulfur smell.
Peel the shells off and let them cool nicely.
Cut into half lengthwise.
Scoop out the yolks to a bowl and smash it with a fork.
Add all the ingredients under list 2) and mix well.
Take a spoon full of the mixture and fill each of the egg white. You can pipe them into it as well.
Garnish with extra masala powder or chopped cilantro or carrot. Serve.
