Learn how to make Nigerian fried meat pie. This method of making meat pie is fast and easy. Your meat pie can be yummly fried. The reason I won’t say bye bye to baked meat pie is because I already explained to my girls that even though fried foods most times taste better, that baking is a healthier option.
4 cups of flour produced these 16 meat pies that when I started they asked why I put a pot of oil on the fire and I kindly explained that after my delicious Nigerian meat pie recipe got posted, some good people sent DMs asking if Nigerian meat pie can be fried and
I said yes but that if not properly done, the filling too can get fried along and then it’s like you eating just chaff. I thought about using my Egg roll Recipe for the dough but changed my mind because it won’t give that little crunch I want.
This evening we remembered the curry cabbage rolls I once fried that got great reviews and I just told myself that the recipe would be great for fried meat pies, so, here it is! Delicious, delicious and delicious!
INGREDIENTS FOR THE FRIED MEAT PIE DOUGH.
4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon softened butter (Naija baking margarine)
A teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons powdered milk
400 mls water
2 egg whites for sealing
THE MEAT PIE FILLING is our normal Naija filling, no stress.
There’s a picture below for every step…
4 medium sized irish potatoes
1 medium sized carrot
1/2 kg minced meat
