1

Prepare the dough by mixing flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, powdered milk, nutmeg, and margarine until crumbly.

2

Add water gradually to form a smooth dough; cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

Cook the fish in a skillet over medium heat until flaky, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the fish from heat and flake it into a bowl; set aside to cool.

5

In the same skillet, sauté onions, spring onions, and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

6

Add chopped carrots, pepper, and thyme; cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

7

Combine the sautéed vegetables with the flaked fish; mix in seasoning powder and salt.

8

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

9

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick.

10

Cut the dough into circles or squares; place a spoonful of the fish filling in the center.

11

Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges with a fork.

12

Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

13

Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

14

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
