Curried Tuna Fish Cakes. Traditional tuna cakes or tuna patties rely on breadcrumbs to hold together. Instead, the egg and shredded zucchini together help hold the patties together. Tuna patties are fantastic to make as part of meal prep, and they freeze beautifully.

Ingredients of Curried Tuna Fish Cakes

Fold in tuna and onion until well-mixed. It's important to make sure the oil is hot before frying or the patties will absorb too much oil and turn sludgy. Test with a breadcrumb before hand. When it comes to canned fish, unless it's flavoured or in a delicious oil (like the tuna is), I need to spruce it up.
Curried Tuna Fish Cakes step by step
In a medium mixing bowl add the tuna and curry powder, cumin and chilli flakes. Mix together..
Next add the cooked potato and using a knife roughly chop it up inside the bowl and then season with salt and pepper..
Using a potato masher, combine all of the ingredients, then add the mayonnaise and mix together further..
Using your hands take portions of the mix and shape into balls and gently squeeze the mixture in your hands to compact it so it's not flakey. Once portioned out, gently flatten and shape them into patties..
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add a few sprays of Frylight or around 1tbsp of cooking oil..
While the pan heats up, dip each pattie into egg so both sides are covered and then dredge in the breadcrumbs so they are evenly coated..
Once the pan is nice and hot, add the fishcakes and gently fry on both sides, turning when necessary for 4-5 minutes until golden brown..
The same stands for expensive canned salmon. My favourite way of jazzing up canned tuna is in my curried tuna patties which may or may not be one of my all-time favourite recipes ever posted here. Tuna cakes are a great way to make a quick snack, light dinner or sides dish. Packed with lots of flavor from onions, garlic, parmesan, and mustard. These make a great addition to sandwiches, salads or eaten on it own.
