Preparation

Place the tuna in a bowl with salt, chilli powder, curry leaves and lime juice. Stir to coat the tuna and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

To make the sweet and sour sauce, combine the tomato sauce and vinegar and set aside until ready to use.

Heat the oil in a wok over high heat. Once it reaches smoking point, add the onion, garlic and leeks.

Once the mixture is fragrant and the onion is translucent, add the chillies and fry for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the tuna and toss to coat in the spice mixture. Stir in the sweet and sour sauce and cover. Leave to cook for a few minutes, or until the tuna is just cooked.

Season with salt and pepper and serve sprinkled with curry leaves and the reserved chilli.

Tuna are endangered

Tuna are endangered. It is not appropriate to give recipes for an endangered species. Most people are not enlightened. Our chefs and media have no excuses. It is your business. Use your power to enlighten; not feed the rich and those with the dollars to purchase what is not sustainable. What next? A recipe for whale meat as we know the whale meat IS available for eating for those who can afford to pay and have no conscience. Of course I am unable to give your recipe a rating

Hot Tips

Roasting spices

Spices have a much greater kick when roasted and ground just before using. Place them in a small dry frying pan and shake over low heat until just fragrant, then remove from the heat and allow to cool before grinding. Over-roasting spices tends to make them very bitter, so make sure you remove the spices as soon as they yield a toasted aroma.
