Canned Tuna fish Indian Style

Canned Tuna Indian Home Style Recipe

Canned tuna tastes great unlike what people may wonder about canned fish. 

In many gatherings people have asked me this question ...."mam how come u like this fish so much?....this fish is so smelly and you can't make it taste better" or sometimes they asked "OMG! it can only be grilled right? and I don't have an oven!" These are the questions which inspired me to share my easy homely version of Tuna fish chunks with an Indian touch! :)

You need a microwave or even an oven for this :)

Ingredients:

🔸2 cans tuna in chilli oil (180gm each- Ocean’s Secret)

🔸Sliced white onion: 3 big 

🔸4-5 green chillies

🔸Tomato : deseeded slices/ Tomato purée 4 Tbsp 

🔸Garlic 8-10 cloves 

🔸Ginger paste (optional ): 1 tsp

🔸Green onions /shallots: 100gm

🔸Chopped Cilantro (coriander)

Procedure:

🔸First add 4 tablespoon of chilli oil from the can.

🔸Fry the white onions once the oil heats, until it is golden brown.

🔸Add the chopped garlic and green chilli into And five for another 2-3 minutes

🔸Add the chopped tomatoes /or the tomato Purée. And fry for 5 min

🔸Now add the tuna and fry for 5-10mins.

🔸While it’s cooking, you can add ginger slices, and paprika (Kashmiri red chilli powder to add       spiciness)

🔸Add chopped cilantro (Dhania) from the top. Opt: add some chopped green shallots and give it a stir.

🔸If you are using salted/Tuna in brine then you may not need to add any salt at all. Or you might require some salt.

🔸Since I’ve used a canned tuna with almost no salt, I had to add salt according to our preference, around 1-2tsp

Tips: 

🔸To give it an Indian twist, add 1 tbsp ghee and 1tsp Garam masala powder over the top and give it a stir.

🔸Adjust the salt and the shallots as per your liking.

      ~Enjoy it with hot breads /Rice~
