Masala Tunafish WithCrunchy Cabbage

Masala Yellowfin Tuna with Crunchy Cabbage – Tuna fish and cabbage sounds like an odd combo, doesn’t it??… If you love tuna, you will adore this dish.. even friends who are not the biggest tuna fans rave about it… another one of Punjabi Mama’s secret recipes for you guys!! I can’t begin to describe how delicious this one is.

Tuna fish is ‘masala-fied’ with lots of onions, ginger, garlic, tomatoes and spices, mixed to that is sweet, earthy white cabbage, cooked together so the cabbage still retains it’s crunch. 

Healthy and nutritious, made from pantry ingredients and bonus, it’s so quick to prepare, serve with roti/ chapati or for a quick fix, warm up some pita bread as I did.
