Preparation
Step 1
For preparing the cutlet, first Heat the oil in a pan.
Step 2
Add onion, ginger, garlic & green chillies till their fresh smell goes or till they are little cooked. Stir it continuously.
Step 3
Add shredded fish to it & Stir everything together thoroughly.
Step 4
Remember not to add water to it. We have to make this mixture dry. As the fish is cooked, we just have to cook it till all the water is evaporated.
Step 5
Add mashed potatoes & Stir everything together thoroughly.
Step 6
Add pepper powder & garam masala. Stir everything together thoroughly.
Step 7
Turn off the heat & add coriander leaves.
Step 8
Just check the taste & if u need salt, you can add as per the taste. We have already added salt while we cooked the fish. Canned tuna fish already has salt in it. So we don't have to add salt again.
Step 9
Allow it to cool.
Step 10
Make small flat round shaped balls.
Step 11
Beat the eggs in a bowl and take bread crumbs in another plate.
Step 12
Dip the balls in the egg mixture & then roll them on the bread crumbs.
Step 13
Fry in hot oil the tuna cutlets in oil.
Step 14
Serve the Tuna Fish Cutlet hot with tomato ketchup.
Tip
Do not overcrowd the pan — fry in small batches to maintain the oil temperature. Crowding drops the heat and gives you greasy results.
