3. Add the coriander powder and green chilies, garam masala. Stir it and mix it, till oil starts separating from the sides of the pan
4.  Add the Tuna,  keep stirring for 5 to 6 minutes more or until it is well cooked. Add the potato, smashed it with a spatula and mix well with Tuna. Here potato will help the mixture to bind it nicely.
5. Let it cool down first, the tuna-mixture is almost ready to fry.
6.  Divide the mixture 8 to 10 equal balls, give them shape into round or cylindrical.
7. In a small bowl whisk the egg with 2 tbsp water and on a another flat dish spread the     breadcrumbs.
8. Take a ball first dip into the egg mixture, then roll it on the breadcrumbs till it gets a nice coat of  breadcrumbs all over it. Do the same process for rest of the balls.
9. Deep fry the tuna balls.
10. Serve hot with dipping sauce.

Note : Be careful while adding salt as the canned tuna is already salty.
