Boil 10 eggs until hard-boiled, about 10-12 minutes.

Cool the boiled eggs in cold water and peel them.

In a bowl, mix the minced meat with finely chopped onion, green bell pepper, curry, black pepper, and salt.

Take a portion of the meat mixture and flatten it in your hand.

Wrap the flattened meat around each peeled egg, ensuring it is fully covered.

Roll the meat-covered eggs in 3 cups of plain flour to coat them evenly.

Dip the floured eggs into beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off.

Roll the eggs in bread crumbs until fully coated.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the coated eggs until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally.

Remove the eggs and drain on paper towels before serving.
