Grab a bowl to add the boiled potato, tuna, onions, curry leaves, green chili pepper, ginger, lime juice, salt and black pepper powder.
Combine it all well. Taste test to balance the overall flavor with salt and lime. To increase the spice level, add the black pepper powder or chili powder, if using.
Once its mixed well, grab a small portion, roll it in the palm of your hand to shape.
Dip each one in beaten egg first (for alternative option, mix flour and water to get a similer consistency).
Then, coat with breadcrumbs (panko gives the best crunch and color).
Next, shape again lightly so the crumbs stick well.
Deep-fry until golden brown. Place them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
