Instant pot hard-boiled eggs

Prepare creamy egg filling
- Once eggs are boiled and peel, cut eggs in half and separate their yolk in a mixing bowl. Add greek yogurt, pickle juice, salt, pepper, and secret ingredient "chaat masala".Mix it well till the mixture looks creamy and smooth.
Fill in egg white cavity
- Fill this creamy mixture in a piping bag and pipe it in an egg white cavity. You can use a spoon as well to fill the cavity, just that filling won't look fancy enough.
