my cooking-Tuna peera

Tuna peera......... I tried making this when I was in Riyadh ...outside countries tuna is available...... lots and lots of tuna tins ................I do remember when we were in Jeddah Saudi my mother use to make a dish with tune which i liked to have with rice ....... ans so when I was Riyadh I tried out and it went well ......try this quite different and tasty toooooooooo .................

Ingredients
1.Tuna 2 tins
2.Onion finely sliced 2nos. large
3.Ginger 1 lemon size finely sliced
4.Green chili 6-8nos. cut into halfs
5.Curry leaves 5-6nos.
6.Coconut grated (one coconut)
7.Turmeric powder 1tsp.
8.Kudampulli 2 pieces
9.Salt to taste
10.Oil
11.Mustard seeds 1tsp(kadagu)
12.Fenugreek seeds 1/2 a tsp.(uluva)
13.Dry red chili 4nos.

                                   First separate the tuna and the oil from the tin............ maybe using your hands or using a fork (we do not need the oil) into a deep bowl and mix all the ingredients from 2-9............ tuna already contains salt so add only necessary salt to your mixture ............keep this mixture aside for 5-10mins.....heat oil (2tbsp) and splatter mustard ,fenugreek and dry red chili to it add the mixture saute it well and close the lid at low flame (you need to get the tuna cooked well) you will have to cook for about 10-15mins in between  give a mix gently (be sure not to catch at the bottom of your pan) .....while mixing if you find that the mixture is dry enough your tuna peera is ready ............goahead   have it with rice ...............
