In a pan, saute onions until they become translucent.
Add thyme and potatoes and cook for 5 min.
Add garlic, coriander and pilchards. Cook for 5 min and add some of the sauce to loosen up the mixture. Remember, Do not mash the fish but carefully mix it in. you want to be able to see the fish chunks.
Place mixture in the fridge to cool.
To prepare the phyllo pastry, place it lengthways on the table and cut strips in the opposite direction. Cut it down the middle first, then cut each half in two.
Cover the unused phyllo with a damp kitchen towel to stop from getting dry.
