Canned fish is not really popular in India as yet. We Indians love our fresh catch of the day, from market to kitchen, cooked (and often consumed) on that day itself. I was introduced to canned tuna when I came to Dubai. Since, it has been an indispensable part of my pantry – tuna pasta, tuna pizza or a simple tuna sandwich. For me, this is an ideal go to food if you run out of fresh groceries or forget to stock up – canned tuna to the rescue!

 1 tbsp Vegetable oil – (optional)
 4 Garlic pods – chopped
 1 medium Onion – sliced
 2 Red chilli – sliced
 1 tsp Chilli powder
 ½ tsp Turmeric powder
 ½ tsp Coriander powder

 5 button Mushrooms – sliced
 1 cup Bell Peppers/ Capsicum (Orange, Green and Yellow) – sliced
 Salt to taste
Directions in a nutshell
 In a pan, pour the drained oil from the tuna and if that is inadequate, add 1 tblsp of vegetable oil. Then add the chopped garlic and sauté for a minute.

This tuna recipe has a slight Indian touch to it and everyone at home loves it. My mouth starts to water when I think about this. I add some veggies to it, to make it more wholesome meal. You can add vegetables of your choice. I have used button mushrooms, and bell peppers here.
