Tuna & Potato Cutlets

These are a quick fix kind of kabab/cutlet which tastes amazing on it’s own or in a wrap.  A perfect starter  to any meal, can be served with ketchup or any spicy dip/chutney.  For a chicken version, check out my chicken potato cutlets recipe HERE.
Servings 12 Cutlets

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can tuna 185gm
  • 3 medium potatoes boiled and mashed
  • 1 small onion chopped finely
  • 1 tsp. oil or butter
  • 3 tbsp. chopped coriander
  • 1 tbsp. chopped mint optional
  • 2 green chillies chopped
  • 1 tsp. ginger paste
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic paste
  • 1/2 tsp. salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp. cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp. red chilli powder
  • 1/2 tsp. red chilli flakes for extra spice, optional
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper powder
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 1 egg for coating
  • breadcrumbs for coating
  • oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Drain the tuna from the can in a strainer and set aside.
    Heat the 1 tsp oil or butter in a pan and then saute/fry the onions until they are soft but NOT golden. We just need to sweat them slightly. Add the ginger and garlic pastes, stir them in for a few seconds then turn off the heat. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
    Put the mashed potatoes in a bowl, add the drained tuna, softened onions/garlic/ginger mixture, coriander, mint, chillies, salt, lemon and all the remaining spices. Mix everything well and give it a taste. Adjust salt/spice or lemon if needed.
    Shape round flattened patties out of the mixture. Dip each one in some beaten egg then in breadcrumbs. Shallow fry on both sides until golden and crispy.
    Drain onto dish towels and serve with a dip and some lemon/lime slices.
    Enjoy! 

Notes

You can omit the breadcrumbs, I normally prefer adding that layer for a nice crunchy crust.
