Hello, it's my preference to join this competition, this is my second post!

NIGERIAN FISH ROLLS
I also have a recipe for the baked version which can be found here, how to make Nigerian baked fish roll”-

INGREDIENTS FOR NIGERIAN FISH ROLLS:
100 grams margarine/butter
1 large raw egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoonful sugar
½ cup water (or enough to get a smooth, firm dough)
For the filling you’ll need:
Fresh mackerel fish or canned mackerel or tuna
1 medium sized carrot, grated (optional if you’re allergic to carrots)
1 teaspoon Garlic powder/minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon thyme/oregano
1 seasoning cube (knorr)
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper(optional)
salt to taste.

1 Onion bulb(grate half and slice the other half)
Vegetable oil for frying
How to prepare Nigerian Fish Roll:

• The first step is to season the fresh mackerel fish with half of the onion, half teaspoon garlic powder, curry powder,
  thyme, half seasoning cube and salt to taste. Add a little water and let the fish boil until soft and fully cooked.
• Take out the fish from the stock and leave to cool, then pick out the bones from the fish and mash well with the back
  of a fork.

Note: if using canned fish, you don’t have to boil it, simply mash it and set aside.

• Heat up about two tablespoons of vegetable oil, add the remaining onions(minced/grated) and garlic powder; stir
  fry until the onion is translucent. Add the grated carrot, stir fry for 5 seconds and then add the mashed fish, pepper
  (if you like some heat), the remaining seasoning cube and also taste for salt. Stir fry for a few seconds until the flavors
  are well combined. Transfer unto a bowl and leave to cool.

While the filling is cooling, it’s time to prepare the pastry or the dough for the Nigerian fish roll.

• In a large bowl, pour in the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt and mix well. Then add the margarine and also mix
  until crumbly.
  Add the egg and mix thoroughly and gradually add water until the dough comes together or is workable.
• Now, flour your work surface and knead the dough until you get a smooth but firm dough about 2 to 3 minutes then
  let the dough rest for 5 minutes.

• Next, place the dough on a table and cut out a bit. Using a rolling pin, roll out the small dough until its flat and then 
   cut to form a rectangular shape.
  

*Now add the fish filling and fold/roll the dough and seal tight. Keep rolling it until you get your desired length. Repeat the process for the remaining dough and set aside.

• And to the final part, heat up a pan of oil until hot (not smoking hot) and gently place the fish rolls into the hot oil.
  Fry the fish roll on low heat until it’s crispy and brown.

Tip: to know if the oil is ready for frying, simply place a pea size of the dough into the oil, if it turns brown, the oil is ready. Serve and Enjoy!

Thanks.

Stay safe!
