Fried Tuna Kofta Patties
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes
- 3 large cans tuna
- 2 chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1 cup cooked peas
- 1 small grated carrot
- 1 teaspoon mixed spices
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For frying
- Corn oil
Preparation
In a deep pot, place the potatoes and cover with water, add a teaspoon of salt, bring to a boil over medium heat, cover and boil until fully cooked. Let cool slightly, then peel and place in a deep dish.
Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes while warm until crumbled but not smooth; they should remain coarse.
Add the tuna, onion, cilantro, parsley, peas, carrot, mixed spices, salt, pepper, ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, and olive oil. Mix with your fingertips until combined, then shape the mixture into medium-sized patties.
In a wide skillet, add a little corn oil and heat over medium heat.
Place several patties in the skillet, wait 1-2 minutes or until the bottom is golden, then use a wide metal spoon to flip and cook the other side until golden.
