1/2 tsp of garlic paste
1/2 tsp of salt (more or less to taste)
6 green chili quartered.

  2. Drain oil from canned tuna. Tuna should be as dry as possible.
  3. chop the cilantro into small pieces.
  4. On a mixing bowl add the boiled potato, tuna, salt, garlic, coriander, cumin, cilantro and create a "dough."
  5. Taste for salt.
  6. Add egg white.
  7. Make small (2" diameter max) patties.
