For the filling, I didn't follow rinnchan's. I made sardine filling instead.

Ingredients:
1 small can of Sardines
1 Onion - sliced & chopped
2 Garlics - sliced
1 Chilli - chopped
1 Lime - for the juice
Salt

Method:
Mash sardines in a bowl (I emptied the can - meaning to say I utilised ALL the contents including the tomato sauce). Add the lime juice and mix well.

Saute chopped onion, garlics and chilli. Add the mashed sardines and pinch of salt. Simmer until quite dry.

Leave to cool before using it for curry puff filling.
