Canned Tuna Cutlets

Tuna cutlets are a favourite at home and it needs a lot of prodding and pleading from the entire house for me to finally oblige. Even though it is not that difficult, it does take some time to get it finally into plates and it takes just a few seconds to finish everything! Out here the canned Tuna has been shrinking each year. If I remember, not many years back each tin weighed around 250 gms and then reduced step by step, barely noticeable by anyone. It rested at 185 gms for sometime and recently I discovered that it has come down to 165 gms but there is no letting down of the price. During promotions one grabs 4 pieces/per pack only to find that the weight has come down! The 185 gms is also sold separately but one has to be very careful to spot the difference. I think the consumers are always being let down! Anyway, let me get down with the recipe and stop cribbing.

Tuna cutlet

Ingredients

1- White meat tuna Canned - 3 nos.
2- Potatoe large - 3
3- Diced ginger, Garlic - 2 Tbspn each
4- Diced green Chilly - 1 tbspn
5- Big onion - 300 gm
6- Garam masala -
1 tsp 
7- 
Red chilly + pepper and coriander powder - 1 tsp each 

Method

Saute 3,4,&5 until a little brown or you can even microwave for 5 minutes on high to reduce the sauting time.

Add the powders and then the tuna. Fry it for a while and add the mashed potatoes.




Make it into desired shapes and dip in beaten egg and bread crumbs.




 It is best to make them still warm since this will ensure that the cutlets don't break while frying.





Enjoy!

  2. I am extremely impressed with the results I got using the Oil-less air fryer from Bizarkdeal! I was not sure what to expect to be honest as I was skeptical of how this would actually work. To my surprise, it works amazingly!! It fried my chicken to be crispy and moist as if I fried it in a pan of oil except without the use of ANY oil! Never knew this was possible and glad that I found this and decided to try it out. Excited to try many different types of food with it!
