Curried Tuna with Ginger and Yogurt
I am truly a sucker for curries and this curried tuna with ginger and yogurt is just plain sensational. Not only it is delicious but you will be done in just about 20 minutes. You can also use any other protein of your choice so if you don’t like tuna use chicken or whatever firm fish you prefer.
What can I say about this dish, this curried tuna with ginger and yogurt is JUST delicious.
This is my first time using curry powder and I really don’t know what I was waiting for. Well better later than never right?
What to love about this curried tuna besides the flavor? Well it is really simple and easy to put together. I also love the fact that you can use what ever protein you like. I bet it works really good with shrimp and chicken and if you are a vegetarian using an array of different veggies will perfectly work as well.
Next time I make this recipe I will use it with shrimp. If you like curry, this is a must try.
Enjoy!!
