Equipment

  • Large Frying Pan
  • Medium Frying Pan
  • Kitchen Paper
  • Plate
  • Small Bowl
  • Spoon
  • Deep Fryer (alternatively, a deep saucepan with a thermometer can be used)

Ingredients
  

  • 300 g White Fish Fillets
  • 1 Large Onion finely chopped
  • 2 Green Chillies finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Garam Masala
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp Cooking Oil
  • 12 Samosa Wrappers
  • 1 Egg beaten
  • Vegetable Oil for deep frying

Instructions
 

  • First off, let's cook the fish. In your large frying pan, heat 1 tbsp of cooking oil over medium heat. Add the fish fillets, season with salt and cook each side for about 3-4 minutes. Once cooked, transfer to a plate and let it cool.
  • While the fish is cooling, let's move on to the onions and chillies. In the same pan, add another tbsp of cooking oil and cook the onions and chillies until the onions are golden brown. It's the start of a beautiful friendship!
  • With your hands or a fork, flake the cooked fish. Add these flakes to your onion and chilli mixture. Now we're talking!
  • Sprinkle in the turmeric and garam masala, and give it a good stir. Squeeze in that fresh lemon juice and season with salt. Cook for a couple more minutes and then take it off the heat. This is our tasty filling!
  • Now it's samosa wrapping time! Place a spoonful of the fish mixture onto the wrapper, fold it into a triangle shape, and seal the edges with the beaten egg. This might take a bit of practice, but you'll get the hang of it!
  • Once all your samosas are wrapped and ready, it's frying time. Heat the vegetable oil in your deep fryer or saucepan to about 180°C. Carefully place a few samosas into the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown. Repeat this with the remaining samosas.
  • Using a slotted spoon, take out the golden samosas and let them drain on kitchen paper.
