Remove the bones in the mackerel, shred it into small pieces and set aside.
.Add the vegetable oil in the sauce pan on a medium heat.
Add the diced onions, add curry, thyme, garlic, cayenne pepper, and oregano and stir everything together and allow to simmer for about 1 minute.
Add the set aside fried mackerel and stir.
Add the sardine in tomatoes sauce to the above mixture.
Fry everything for about 5 minutes and remove from the heat to cool down.

Mix all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl (flour, margarine/ butter, nutmeg, salt and sugar). You should either use a stand mixer, spatula or whisk if you don’t want to use your hands but nevertheless hand does the job better.
Add the milk to the dry ingredients, then add the water bit by bit until the dough is properly formed. The reason I suggest bit by bit is because the consistency of our margarine or butter may differ, so add according to the texture of your dough and stop when the right consistency has been achieved.
Remove the dough from the bowl and drop it on a floured surface and knead until smooth but don’t over knead the dough.
Drop it back in the bowl and cover with a neat kitchen towel or clingy film or foil and allow to rest for about 30-40 minutes at room temperature.
Take it out and drop it on the rolling mat or a floured clean surface, divide it and start rolling out with a rolling pin.
Add about 1 teaspoon of the filling and roll.
Repeat the process until you roll out all the dough.
Fry until it is golden brown.
Enjoy and serve! Enjoy with any drink of your choice - water, juice, soda, tea or coffee.
