Instructions
-
Prepare the Mixture: In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, ground coriander, salt, and ground black pepper, mixing well.
-
Create Batters: Divide the mixture into two portions: one for dry coating and the other for the wet batter. For the wet batter, whisk the egg with a little water until well combined, ensuring it’s not too runny.
-
Tenderize the Tuna: Gently pound the tuna fillet with a meat mallet or rolling pin until it’s flattened and tender.
-
Heat the Oil: In a frying pan, heat a generous amount of cooking oil over medium heat.
-
Coat the Tuna: Dip the flattened tuna fillet into the wet batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, roll it in the dry mixture, pressing down slightly to ensure an even coating.
-
Fry to Perfection: Carefully place the coated tuna in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the tuna from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot and enjoy your crispy fried tuna!
This dish is perfect as a delightful snack or a main course, bringing crispy texture and rich flavor to your dining table. Enjoy!
