["Put the prawns in a bowl with the cilantro, lemon, capers, spice, salt & harissa.", "Add the ricotta & mix together using your hands or a wooden spoon.", "Mix in the egg & the black pepper.", "Take a sheet of phyllo pastry, fold in half to strengthen.", "Place a line of filling in the middle of the sheet, then roll up tightly - making sure to tuck the sides over the filling first.", "You can seal the fingers with a little water - this will stop the oil seeping in & the filling from bubbling out.", "Pour enough sunflower or vegetable oil into a large frying pan to cover the bottom by 1/2"".", "Heat the oil over a medium heat until it is around 180c, then fry the fingers in batches for around 8-10 minutes or until they are crisp & deep golden, you will need to turn them so that they cook evenly.", "Remove the fingers wfrom the oil with a slotted spoon & stand upright on plenty of kitchen paper to drain.", "Serve warm.", "(if you do want to make these slightly ahead of time, you can fry them & reheat in the oven but take care not to leave them too long as the prawns will over cook & become rubbery."]
