Turn the heat to medium-high heat and wait for the water to boil. Boil uncovered for 1 minute. Turn the heat off and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid. Let the eggs cook in the hot water for 10 minutes. Transfer the cooked eggs to a large bowl for the ice bath. Cover eggs with ice cubes and then fill the bowl with cold water. Let eggs cool in the ice water for 10 minutes. This is known as the 1-10-10 method. Shell the hard-boiled eggs under cool running water. The eggs should shell easily.

• STEP TWO: In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic paste, curry seasoning, onion powder, a sprinkle of sea salt, and fresh ground pepper all together until smooth and completely mixed. Set aside.
