Fold and seal top and bottom. Take each strip and fold over the filling in an angle, alternating sides each time to create a braid pattern. When you reach the bottom tuck the last strip underneath the pasty to seal.Brush the top with egg white and sprinkle chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts.Bake this for 15-18 or till the top turns crispy and golden.
