- 1
In a bowl, combine the sliced onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped curry leaves, chopped green chilies, lemon juice, turmeric powder, and salt. Squeeze and mash the ingredients together to release their juices.
- 2
Add the flaked tuna (or canned tuna) and grated coconut to the bowl. Mix well.
- 3
Stir in the coarsely ground rice and the beaten eggs (if using). Gradually add water, mixing until you achieve a thick, paste-like consistency.

Spread the mixture evenly into a greased baking dish or a non-stick pan. If using a pan, ensure the mixture is about 1 inch thick.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set. Alternatively, cook on the stovetop over low heat, covered, until the bottom is golden brown (about 10-15 minutes per side, flipping carefully).

Let the Kulhi Boakibaa cool slightly before cutting into squares or desired shapes. Serve warm.
đĄ Proffstips
