HOT CURRIED TUNA SANDWICHES

Hot Curried Tuna Sandwiches image

I adore curry and thought that this aromatic spice would be a natural with tuna. My family thinks that I was right and ask for these tuna-melts often. Easy and very tasty. To keep this recipe on the light side, use non-fat mayo and low-fat cheese.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use high-quality tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna that is packed in mayonnaise or other dressings.
If you don't have curry powder on hand, you can make your own by combining ground turmeric, coriander, cumin, and ginger.
Feel free to adjust the amount of curry powder to taste. If you like a more mild curry flavor, use less curry powder. If you prefer a more intense curry flavor, use more curry powder.
Be careful not to overcook the tuna. Tuna is a delicate fish, and it will become dry and tough if it is cooked for too long.
Serve the curried tuna sandwiches immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for later. The sandwiches will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

Curried tuna sandwiches are a quick and easy lunch or dinner option that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying sandwich that the whole family will enjoy.
