Fill a saucepan with enough water to cover the eggs and an inch more and bring to the boil. Add the quail's eggs carefully using a spoon. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Boil for 4-5 minutes depending on your preference.
Remove with a slotted spoon and cool down under cold running water or in a bowl filled with ice water. When they are cool, crack the shell by tapping it on a hard surface and peel. The membrane between the shell and the white is a bit thicker than chicken eggs, but not too much so.
Serve with salt to taste. You can make egg curry with this eggs. Store leftover peeled eggs in cold water in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
