Tuna cutlets

Ingredients

1 can tuna(185gm)
3 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
1small onion, chopped finely
1 tsp oil or butter
3 tbsp chopped coriander
1 tbsp chopped mint
2 green chillies, chopped
1 tsp ginger paste
1/2 tsp garlic paste
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
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  the onions until they are soft but 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 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.
