Sundried Tomato and Chilli-Spiced Fish Samoosas with Coriander Tzatziki

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

For the samoosas, heat the oil for deep-frying to 180°C.

Fry the strips until golden and crisp, 2-3 minutes. Cut into bite-size pieces.

Place the first sheet of samoosa pastry on a clean surface and cut into 3 equal strips. Brush each strip with the whisked eggs. Combine the olives, sundried tomatoes, feta, chillies, pesto and fish strips. Place 1 tablespoonful of the fish filling on one corner on the end of each of the pastry strips and fold the other corner of the pastry over the filling to form a triangle. Keep folding the triangle over the strip of pastry until you reach the end of the strip. Repeat with the rest of the pastry and filling to form 60 samoosas.

Deep-fry the samoosas, in batches, until golden and crisp, 2-3 minutes each. Drain on kitchen paper.

For the tzatziki, sprinkle the salt over the cucumber and set aside, 2 minutes. Rinse, strain and press out any excess liquid. Combine the cucumber with the remaining ingredients and season to taste.

Serve the samoosas warm with the tzatziki on the side.

TIP: Once the samoosas have been folded, they can be frozen for future use by arranging them in single layers, separated by sheets of baking paper, in a freezer-friendly container for up to 1 month.
