Hi all,
This is my first post on my new food blog.I thought I'll start off with a crowd favorite which is extremely simple to make and almost impossible to mess up!
I stumbled upon this when I had leftover mashed potatoes at home!
Here goes..My easy-to-make recipe for Tuna cutlets.
Ingredients:
1 cup tuna(drained)
2 cups mashed potatoes(I use the instant mashed potatoes cos its just so much faster!)
1 1/2 medium onions(finely chopped)
1 1/2 teaspoons Garam Masala Powder
1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
8 green chillies
1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
2 eggs(beaten well with salt and pepper to taste)
1 cup bread crumbs
Method:
1.Fry the onions until they are nicely browned,add the ginger-garlic paste,green chillies,garam masala and tuna.Fry nicely until the mixture is nicely cooked.Canned tuna is already cooked you just need to fry it along with the onions so that it gets the flavor.
2.When this mixture has cooled down,combine the mashed potatoes and pepper.Add salt to taste and mix well.
3.Make tiny balls and flatten to form small cutlets.Roll each cutlet in the egg mixture and then coat well with the bread crumbs.
4.Deep fry in oil until the cutlets are golden brown.
Variations:
If you want a healthier option you can make bigger patties and shallow fry them.All the ingredients are cooked except the egg coating so you don't need to deep fry it.It just tastes better that way...sigh.. ;-)
On one occasion, I added bread crumbs to the tuna-potato mixture as well.The result was quite interesting cos the crumbs got nice and crisp when fried and the cutlets had this lil crunch to them..
Hope you'll enjoy this!
I welcome comments and new ideas for variations!
