- 2 onions, finely diced
- 2 green + 2 red fresh chillies, finely chopped (seeds and all)
- 8-10 fresh or 12 dried curry leaves, chopped or crumbled
- 3 cloves garlic, grated
- about 3 cm of ginger, grated
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- a large handful of fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped
- 2 cans (150g) tuna
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
- salt, pepper
- 4 - 6 tortillas

(1) Heat 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil in a large frying pan over a high heat and fry the onions for 3-4 minutes, then reduce the heat and cook them for a further 3-4 minutes until very soft.

(2) Add the chillies, curry leaves (standing back from the pan if using fresh leaves, as they will splutter in the hot oil), ginger and garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

(3) Tip in the turmeric, cook for a minute, then add the coriander and tuna. Add the lemon or lime juice, season to taste with salt and pepper and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minütes, stirring from time to time, to heat the mixture through.

(4) Serve hot, wrapped in tortillas with a a dash of lime juice, or spooned on top of baked potatoes.
