Egg Puff

Things u need:

1 can of tuna
2 small potatoes
3 eggs
1/2 an onion
1 chillie (or more if u are a spice lover)
1/2 a lemon
salt
flour
olive oil
hot water

to make the dough:

take 2 and a half cups of flour, add 3-4 tbsp of olive oil, and 1/2 a tbsp of salt.
mix it as much as u can and slowly add bit by bit of hot water till u mix it into a dough. pinch off small pieces and roll them. cut the rolled piece of doughs in a 4"x4" square.

to make the stuffing:

first boil 2 eggs and the potatoes. (once the potato is boiled mash it, once the eggs are boiled, cut them in quarters)
finely chop the onions and the chillies and squish the mixture well with lemon juice and a pinch of salt. add the mashed potato and mix it all together before addding the tuna. mix the whole thing thoroughly.

Now, take one of the 4"x4" square dough, put some fish stuffing in the middle, place a piece of egg on the top, and enclose the stuffing by taking opposite corners of the square. (i.e. take the first opposite corners, stick the tips together, like wise the last opposite corners). when its closed, it should look something close to a 4-petaled flower.

beat 1 egg, use a brush to apply the egg all over the puff.
Stick it in the oven, 10 mins pre-heated on 200 degrees

Cooking time: 20-30 minutes.

NB: how do u know its cooked? the puffs will be nice golden brown in color.
