Since overhauling my diet to complement my fitness regime, I have gradually found the concept of experimenting in the kitchen more and more enjoyable. Since moving out, I have learnt how to create simple, healthy and tasty meals for one and all with very little prep work! Here is the recipe for one of my favourites!
Curried Tuna Patties
Serves- 1
Prep- 5-10 minutes
Cooking- 5-7 minutes
- 1 can tuna packed in springwater, liquid drained completely
- 1 egg
- 1/2 small zucchini, finely shredded and moisture squeezed out
- Handful of baby spinach leaves, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp curry powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp corriander powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt
- Chilli flakes/Cayenne pepper (optional)
- coconut oil, to fry
- Drain can of tuna and ensure all the liquid is removed- tuna should be dry and crumbly. Put the tuna in a mixing bowl.
- Shred zucchini (I used a cheese grater) and finely chop a small handful of spinach. Add both to the mixing bowl with the tuna.
- Add curry powder, cumin, garam masala, corriander powder, garlic salt and chilli to the tuna mixture. Mix well to ensure the spices are incorporated with the tuna, zucchini and spinach.
- Add the egg to coat the mixture. The tuna mixture should now be quite moist.
- Warm coconut oil in a pan on medium heat. Form the tuna mixture into 5 patties and place into the hot pan. Cook until golden brown (approximately 2-3 minutes) and flip and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, until desired crispness.
- Serve patties warm or allow to cool and refrigerate to consume at a later day!
- These patties can be pre-cooked and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen and reheated.

These look awesome!! I love tuna and am always looking for new ways to eat it. Perfect idea!
So good and so simple- magic from a can!
So glad you mentioned this on my blog – happy to have found these! Will definitely be making them soon!
Oh my god. This looks yummy and easy to make. No worry of missing ingredients either. Do we need to have a binder though? Or will the egg do?
Thanks!
Hi there! The beauty of this is that the egg acts as a fantastic binder, provided you fry it in oil 🙂
This was really good! Just made it to put in the tiffin lunchbox tomorrow. We combined them with a Madras curry paste/mayo mix. Yum! Will definitely be making this again.
Thanks for the feedback, Lu- Glad you enjoyed them 🙂
Please tell us what size can of tuna? Where I live in Boston tuna cans come in several sizes. Thank you!
Hi Carole! I used 185 grams once drained- 12 ounce can 🙂
Thanks so much Arman I am definitely going to try this soon!
What are the nutritional numbers on these tuna patties, (fat, carbs, sodium, protein)?
