Curry Tuna Cakes

After making Tasty Tuna Cakes, I made them  few more times because they taste so good.

I bring two with me to work to help stave off hunger pangs. They make very handy portable snacks and prevent me from running off to the shops to eat something when I am feeling peckish hee..hee... This year, I am trying not to eat out too often.

I bought two cans of tuna (packed in water) just to make these tuna cakes. This time, I lined the muffin tray with cupcake liners because I got fed up with the tuna cakes getting stuck to the pan (in spite of oiling the muffin holes). That made it lots easier to remove the tuna cakes as it was just a matter of peeling off the liners.

The ingredients are pretty much the same as before except that I decided to add some curry powder to the mix. 

Somehow the smell reminded me of otak-otak and I wonder if we can make otak-otak in a muffin pan. Hmm...perhaps I should experiment.
