Ingredients

• 250 grams White fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 pieces Green chilies, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Oil
• 12 pieces Samosa pastry sheets
• 500 milliliters Oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

Start by finely chopping the white fish fillets into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until aromatic.

Step 3

Add the finely chopped onion to the pan and sauté until they become translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic, ginger, and green chilies, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chopped fish, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Stir well to combine and cook the fish until it's cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 6

Once the fish mixture is cooked and dry, remove from heat, and add the chopped cilantro and lemon juice. Mix well and let it cool completely.

Step 7

To assemble the samosas, take one samosa pastry sheet at a time and fold into a cone shape as per packet instructions or your preferred method.

Step 8

Fill the cone with a tablespoon of the fish mixture, ensuring not to overfill, then seal the edges with a little water to form a triangle.

Step 9

Repeat the process with all the pastry sheets and fish filling.

Step 10

Heat the oil for frying in a deep pan over medium heat.

Step 11

Once the oil is hot, gently slide in the samosas (in batches) and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 12

Remove the samosas with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 13

Serve the hot fish samosas with mint chutney or tamarind sauce as a delightful appetizer or snack.
