Tuna Fish Balls

Just about everyone I know is a fan of tasty snacks. However, many people still struggle to make/buy snacks that are high in fat and sugar. Not to worry! I thought of providing everyone with a recipe of a healthy and high protein snack of Tuna fish balls.

Tuna fish balls is a common snack in the subcontinent countries like Sri Lanka and can be served with spicy sauce and vegetables. Below is a easy and suggested recipe that everyone should use!



Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 potato, boiled and mashed
• 3-5 tblspn (or more) puree vegetables
• small tin of tuna or salmon
• handful of cheese (grated Parmesan or cheddar)
• handful of bread crumbs and some egg.
• Stuff for crumbing 

Method:

1. Mix the puree veg, tuna or salmon and cheese into the mashed potato in the pan.
2.  Season a little. Throw in some bread crumbs and use a little of the whisked up egg you have ready for the crumbing (you only need the tiniest bit).
3. Roll into balls, the smaller the better. Approximately having the diameter of a 20c piece.
4. Crumb.
5. Shallow fry in some canola oil.
6. Serve with tomato sauce or whatever else you want (i.e mayo)

Tips:

• Adding mint is something most cookers do. Most people use just curry leaves. Add more green chilli or pepper for extra spice.
• Time it takes to make: 40mins (without any distractions!)

GOOD LUCK!
