After 12 minutes, run cold water over the eggs until they are cool enough to touch, then place the eggs in the refrigerator to cool.
After the eggs are cool, peel them and place in a bowl. Using a fork, break up the eggs into small pieces.
Add the celery, shallot, red pepper, green pepper, cashews, curry powder, mayonnaise and pepper to the bowl.
