- 1 bunch fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 24 sheets phyllo pastry
- 1/4 cup water

- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a heavy-based frying pan. Fry the mustard seeds, curry leaves, ground turmeric and ginger paste, stirring often, for 3-5 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the crab meat, salt and chopped cilantro, mixing well, and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
- Mix together the water and flour to make a flour paste.

- Repeat the process making 24 samosas in all.
- Heat the oil for deep frying in a deep fat-fryer or wok until very hot. Fry the samosas in batches until golden-brown, remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
