Tuna Fish Masala
Tuna Fish Masala is a bold fusion of aromatic traditional Indian curry powder with tender tuna fish. The mild flaky texture of canned tuna absorbs the spice mixture well, while the onion, ginger, and garlic form a fragrant base and the tomatoes add a tanginess to this dish. The natural sweetness of the tuna with the vibrant spices makes it a versatile option to pair with rice, quinoa, bread, or salad. This masala fish has a satisfying balance of heat, tang, and earthiness that is so simple to prepare, making it an ideal choice for weeknights!
