(Amma Cooks) Tuna Poriyal / Tuna Stir fry

I learnt this recipe from my amma when she visited us sometime back. When we went grocery shopping one day she asked me to grab a few cans of tuna. All she said was that grab some and I will teach you how to make a very simple poriyal that will pair perfectly with rasam saadam or paruppu saadam. And just as she said this stir fry comes together in a matter of minutes and is the perfect accompaniment for rasam saadam. Thanks ma for this recipe, I make this atleast once in every two weeks for the huss's lunchbox. Its one of his favorite side dishes these days.

~*What U Need*~
Canned tuna - 3 cans, drained
Onion - 1, small
Garlic - 3 pods, chopped
Green chilli - 1,sliced
Chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
Coriander powder - 1 tsp
Curry leaves - 1 sprig
Oil - 2 tbsp
Salt, pepper - to taste

How I Made it:
Heat oil in a pan, add the curry leaves and saute. Add the garlic and fry till golden brown. Add the green chilli and onion and fry till brown. Add the canned tuna and saute for 4-5 mins. Next add the chilli powder and coriander powder, season with salt, pepper and fry till the mixture is dry and the tuna is fried well.

Serve with rasam saadam!!!
