• In a bowl, add the flour, salt, baking powder and margarine; mix well and add the egg then mix thoroughly.
• Now, add the water bit by bit, and knead the dough until you get a smooth, but firm dough.
• Next, place the dough on a flat board/table and cut out a bit. Using a rolling pin, roll out the small dough until it’s flat and then cut to form a rectangular shape.
• Now add the mashed fish and fold/roll the dough. Keep rolling it until you get the length you desire.
