Tuna Time with Tuna Cutlets
I always have tuna cans on hand...you never know when you might need them. You could make scrumptious sandwiches or tuna melts or throw them in with eggs and make a tuna scramble...the possiblities are endless. This time around, I wanted to do something that would last in the freezer..so I thought I'd make some cutlets. Cutlets usually do well in the freezer..when its lunch or dinner time, all you have to do is to defrost them and fry them and they would still taste great unlike most frozen foods. I have made fish cutlets with tilapia, salmon etc but never with tuna...but it turned out delicious.
Found in my pantry :
- Tuna Cans ( In water)
- Onions
Ingredients:
Tuna - 3 6oz cans
White Onion - 1
Green chillies - 7-8
Coriander - One bunch
Potatoes - 3
Garlic - 8-9
Ginger - 1" piece
Pepper Powder - 1 Tsp
Garam Masala Powder - 1 Tsp
Egg - 1
Bread Crumbs - 1 Cup
Cook the potatoes and mash them up. Finely chop onion,green chillies, coriander, garlic and ginger in a food processor or with a knife. In a tava add oil, and add the finely chopped onion, chillies,coriander, garlic and ginger. Saute well for about 5 minutes . Meanwhile, open the tuna cans and drain the water. Add the tuna to the tava and saute for a good 5 minutes until all the ingredients are mixed well. Now, add the mashed potatoes, salt and pepper and mix well. When the mixture is cooled down, make balls out of them and flatten them in the palm of your hand.
Beat one egg in a bowl, and dip the cutlets in this and cover them with bread crumbs.
Shallow fry the fish cutlets in oil on medium high until golden brown on both sides.
Serve with rice or make a sandwich out of it or serve them as a snack with tomato ketchup.
