TUNA FISH PREPARATION RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the tuna, celery, onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until chilled. Sprinkle with paprika if desired.

Steps:

• Drain the oil from tuna.
• Cook the potatoes with salt till it is well done. (I cooked them on stove top, you can pressure cook them also). Let it cool completely.
• Heat oil in a pan & add chopped onions, ginger & garlic, green chilli & curry leaves. Cook till the onions becomes soft & start changing the colour. Add grated carrots & chopped beans. Cook till the veggies are done. Add the masala powders, salt & mix well. Cook for 2 mins. Add tuna pieces & mix well. Cook for 5-7 mins, till everything is combined well. Let the mixture cool down completely.
• Add the cooked potatoes to the tuna mixture & mash them & combine the two. Make sure there are no lumps. Shape the mixture as per your liking (refer notes).
• Make a thick paste with flour & water & salt (a pinch). Add the beaten egg whites to this & whisk till you get a smooth batter. Dip the shaped cutlets in this batter & roll in bread crumbs. At this stage the cutlets are ready to freeze. You can store it in a ziplock bag & freeze it for 1-2 months. Keep the frozen cutlets at room temp for 30-45 mins before frying.
• Heat oil in a pan on med - high flame. When the oil is really hot (not smoking) add the cutlets & fry it till its golden in colour. Drain on a paper towel & serve hot.
