I will start with my recipe of the day , that is , first of Ramadan :
*Filo Pastry Bites *
Fresh Filo Pastry ( get them from Asda )
Mince Meat
Shredded Cheese
Oil
Cut the pastry in five inch squares. now take three leaves and start layering them, bask one with oil, place the second leaf on top, then oil again then the third leaf, then keep aside. Layer up as many Bites you would like to make.
Cook Keema the usual way, ( fry onions, then add ginger and garlic, spices ,then keema.. fry until cooked, add some peas if you like them , some tomato paste , let it cook some more , add corriander and green chillies ) make sure its dry and not too oily or watery.
now take the layered filo and fill it with the mince meat, sprinkle cheese on top and then fold the sheet in half and lightly tap the ends close using some oil.
when all the filo's are done. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees, place filo's in the baking tray and start baking them. you need to keep a close eye coz they brown very quickly.. you just need 3-5 minutes. when light brown, if you like more cheese , you can sprinkle some on top so it melts , otherwise you have enough cheese in the pastry .
