Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, curry powder, ground cumin and a pinch of cayenne. Process until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper and add more curry powder if desired. Using a small spoon or a pastry bag, fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture. Sprinkle with paprika for garnish.

Tips for Perfect Hard-Cooked Eggs
Making perfect hard-cooked eggs couldn't be any simpler and if you follow this method, you shouldn't get that unsightly (albeit harmless) gray ring around the yolk.
Gently place the eggs in a saucepan large enough to hold them in one layer. Add cool water to the pan to cover them by about 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil, then immediately remove the pan from the heat, cover it and let stand for 15 minutes (for large eggs).
Drain and cool by running cold water into the pan until the eggs are cool enough to handle for peeling.
