Steamed Tuna Curry
The tuna I bought a few days ago has been in the fridge for so long I intend to make curry. Well I bought tuna and boiled it some time ago so that it was preserved and had a long shelf life. Not only that, I boiled it to also want to make delicious tuna curry for my family at home. Why does it have to be boiled? Well, this process is usually done by grilling the tuna first. However, my mom and dad don't like grilling because it makes the texture of the tuna meat harden, so I took an alternative by boiling it. This dish is my father's favorite at home, he really likes tuna curry cooked with spicy spices. According to him, the spicy seasoning is very tempting to the tongue, he can eat it many times if my mother or I prepare this curry.
Tuna curry with spicy seasoning, rich in natural herbs and spices, now here I add a lot of sunti acid which is the main seasoning typical for my area. Sunti acid is the name for fermented starfruit (Averrhoa bilimbi L), which is dried with the use of salt. So that it can be stored for quite a long time and is also the main ingredient in curry dishes and other foods for the people of Aceh.

STEP 1
Blend the ground spices, as finely as possible then shred the small sized tuna or remove all the bones in the tuna meat.
STEP 2
Then cut the potatoes and green chili according to taste, then mix the ground spices with the shredded tuna meat.
STEP 3
Sauté the shallots and curry leaves then add the tuna that has been mixed with the spices.
STEP 4
Sauté until fragrant and leave for a few minutes, then add enough water I added about 500 ml of water.
STEP 5
Add the potato pieces and also the green chili pieces in the tuna stir fry. Now, after everything is mixed, let the curry shrink a little, then add the coconut milk that has been dissolved in a little water.
STEP 6

Serving Suggestions
Tuna curry is ready to be served on a plate, now this dish is perfect served with warm rice for a family lunch menu. As I mentioned above, spicy seasoned tuna curry is my family's favorite food at home. My mom and dad always enjoy this dish with white rice during the day or as a delicious dinner.
Now, in the cooking process, I highly recommend that you cook over medium heat because the process of making curry has to reduce the gravy. And also when cooking don't stir frequently because it will destroy the soft texture of the meat.
