Ingredients :
1 tin white/light meat tuna flakes/chunk
4 bread slices
1 beaten egg
1 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup chopped coriander
salt to taste
1/4 tsp garlic-ginger paste
1/4 tsp cumin pwd
1/4 tsp red chili pwd
1/4 tsp turmeric pwd
1/4 tsp pepper pwd
1 finely chopped small onion
1 tbsp vinegar
1-2 chopped green chili
oil to shallow fry

Cooking Instructions:

Dry roast onions till transparent & then add garlic-ginger paste and chilies & fry for a minute. Separate brine from fish and add the spice powders, vinegar, salt, chopped coriander & the fried onion-garlic-ginger mix. Immerse a bread slice in a bowl of water & squeeze it between your palms. Add this to the fish mix & repeat with the other slices. Mash the mix together firmly with your hand (taking palm-fulls and squeezing out through the fingers of your clenched fist each time). If its too dry, add some brine. Make golf-ball size balls & press gently in your palm, roll out along the edge to make a flat round cutlet. Repeat with remaining mixture & then roll each cutlet in the beaten egg followed by bread crumbs, dusting off any excess crumbs. Shallow-fry till golden brown on each side. Serve with any sauce of your choice.
