Tuna Burgers

Homemade cutlets are the best, can be turned into patties for burgers. Here I am using Tuna cutlets for Burger.


Makes/Serves: 3 servings

Ingredients:
          3 Buns
          1 cans Tuna 
          1small Potato 
           2tbsp chopped Onion 
          1tsp chopped Ginger and Garlic
          1to 2 Green Chili 
          1/2 tsp Coriander powder 
          1/2 tsp Fennel powder 
          1/2 tsp Garam masala
          1/2tsp Pepper powder 
          1tbsp chopped Curry leaves
          1tbsp chopped Coriander leaves
          2tbsp Egg whites
          Breadcrumbs (enough to coat)
          3tbsp mayo
          Few lettuce
          Sliced tomato
          Cheese (as per taste)
          Salt to taste
          Oil for deep frying

Method:
          Open the Tuna cans and drain any excess oil or water and keep aside.
          Boil the Potatoes with some Salt and mash them well and keep aside to cool.
          Heat oil in a pan on medium heat and add chopped Onions, Ginger and Garlic, Green Chili and Curry leaves. Cook till the Onions becomes soft and start changing the color.
          Then add the Tuna chunks and Coriander powder ,Fennel powder, Garam masala, Turmeric powder and  mix well and such that each Tuna piece is well coated with the spices . It will take about 5 to 7 min.
          Now in a bowl add Tuna mixture and boiled potato. And combine them very well.
          Prepare small flat and round cutlets by taking small tennis ball sized tuna-potato mixture and gently pat it to form a disc shape of even thickness.
          Gently dip each cutlet into the egg and place it on the plate with the breadcrumbs and coat it on both sides with the breadcrumbs. Do this one by one very gently.
           Heat oil in a pan on medium heat. When the Oil is really hot (not smoking) add the cutlets and fry it till its golden in color. Drain on a paper towel (you can shallow fry them).
          Spread the Buns with hummus or mayo, place the cutlet, top with lettuce, tomato, and cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy the homemade burgers.

Cook Tip: Be careful while adding salt, since the canned tuna is already salty.
