Boil and mash the potatoes.

In a pan , heat oil, add and saute the onions, ginger, garlic and green chillies.

Once slightly browned, add all the masala powders and fry for a couple of minutes.

Add the drained tuna and fry will it is all heated through (a minute or so)

Add the mashed potatoes, season with salt, mix thoroughly and take off fire.

Add the lemon juice and chopped dhania. Mix well. Check salt and sourness at this point, make sure they are to your taste.

Shape the mix into desired shape. I like to make them as shown in the Pic.

Dip each cutlet/cake in egg wash, roll them in bread crumbs and deep fry.

These freeze really well. Place them on a plate, not touching each other and freeze. Once frozen, they can go together into a container/ziplock bag. .

I'm pretty sure you'll be making this quite often 😊

Let me know how it goes ❤️

Cheers!
