Tuna & potatoes made into a delicious roast…
I always have canned tuna in my pantry, one of my favorite dishes to make with canned tuna is tuna cutlets. My hubs enjoy it too, so I make that quite often, the cutlets taste like chicken cutlets that’s the reason my Man enjoys it 🙂
Over the years, I’ve tried making a few dishes with canned tuna. This tuna potato roast is yet another family favorite, and tastes delicious when enjoyed with chapati or paratha.
This recipe is similar to making chicken roast, I’ve replaced chicken with canned tuna & the end result is just awesome.
