Crispy on the outside, with a tender and delicious filling of spiced canned tuna and potatoes, these Sri Lankan Fish Cutlets are a tasty snack or appetizer to serve at your next get-together.

Ingredients

  • 1 potato (boiled)
  • 1 5 oz. can of tuna or 5 oz can of chicken or 5 ozs of ground beef or turkey
  • 1 clove garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1/2 a Jalapeno seeds removed and chopped
  • 1 tbsp.. finely chopped onions
  • 1/4 tsp cumin

  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs to coat
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco Green Jalapeno sauce
  • Oil of choice for frying (about an inch deep to fry the cutlets in)

Instructions

  • If the potato is uncooked, then place it in a large pan and let it boil/cook for about 30 minutes. When it is cooked through, remove it from the pan, place it in a large bowl, and roughly mash it up with a fork. You can leave the skin or remove it if you prefer.
  • Drain the canned tuna well and add it to the potato.
  • Peel and chop the onion and garlic, and chop up the jalapeno.
  • Add the garlic, jalapeno, onion, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco Green Jalapeno sauce to the tuna and potato mix and combine well.
  • Form this mixture into balls and flatten slightly and set aside.
  • In another bowl, mix 1 teaspoon Tabasco Green Jalapeno sauce and the egg together in a bowl.
  • Then, place the breadcrumbs in another bowl or plate.
  • Dip the tuna potato balls into the egg mix and then into breadcrumbs. Repeat until all the tuna and potato balls are coated with breadcrumbs.
  • Place the oil in a large deep fan (for frying) and place on stove to heat up
  • When oil is heated, drop cutlets into it (about 3 or 4 at a time) and fry till golden.
  • Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
