I have extra spring roll wrapper from my lumpia shanghai and was thinking of what to do it. I saw a canned of tuna and decided to use this to make tuna cheese samosa. Samosa is a fried pastry with savory filling. You can play around by choosing what filling you want or what you have available ingredients in your home.
How to make:
Drain a can of hot and spicy Century Tuna. Discard the oil in it. You can use the non spicy for this. Prepare small cubes of cheddar cheese and a little cream cheese if available. Mix with tuna to make a filling for your pastry.
I cut the spring rolls diagonally to make a triangular shape. Put the filling in the wrapper and seal with water.
In pan, fry the samosa until brown for about 2 mins on both sides.
