A true Cape Malay dish with a South African twist of Lucky Star Pilchards in Tomato Sauce, rich with flavour and a subtle hint of heat, Faldela’s Pilchard Samoosas are the perfect treat.
This 60-minute Cheesy Fish Finger dish is a family staple made with the Lucky Star Pilchards. Once done, simply fry the fish fingers for 3 - 5 minutes and serve with Chakalaka sauce.
Inspired by Chef Lentswe’s upbringing in KZN, this Lentil Pilchard curry contains hints of the Durban flavour. Lucky tip: Be sure not to hold back on the pineapples, as this elevates the dish from a simple, budget-conscious meal to gourmet.
