Steps:

• Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add onions, ginger, green chilies and curry leaves. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes or until onions start to brown. Add ground turmeric. Fry, stirring, for a few seconds.
• Add drained tuna. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes. Add ground black pepper and heat through. Remove from heat. Leave to cool.
• Add potatoes and garam masala to the cooled tuna mixture. Season with salt. Make 26 small balls out of the mixture and press down lightly to form round or oval shaped patties or cakes. Set aside.
• Place eggs and breadcrumbs in two separate bowls. Dip each cake or cutlet in the egg and then roll in breadcrumbs.
• Meanwhile heat oil for deep frying in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add cutlets (in batches) to the hot oil and deep fry. Flip over to cook both sides. When the cutlets turn golden, remove them from oil with a slotted spoon, and drain on an absorbent towel. Serve with onion salad (challas) and ketchup.

• Remove fish and place in a medium sized bowl.
• Add a little more oil to the skillet and then saute the onions till golden brown.
• Add the ginger and garlic and saute a couple of minutes more.

• Add this spicy onion mixture, along with the mashed potatoes and cooked green peas, to the fish in the bowl, and mix well.
• Do not add too much potato, just enough to bind the fish.
• Shape into patties, then dip into the beaten eggs, then in the bread crumbs placed in a shallow bowl, into the egg once again, followed again by the bread crumbs.
• You can do the egg-bread crumbling procedure just once, but doing it twice makes for crunchier patties.

• Drain on paper towels and serve.
