- To make the chutney: Put chopped tomato in a small blender or a large jug with a stick blender. Add the garlic, chilli or sauce, torn mint leaves and oil. Cut cheeks off the lime and set aside for serving. Squeeze juice from rest of lime into the tomato mixture and blend to a rough paste. Put in a serving bowl.
- Heat a frying pan, and, when piping hot, add remaining teaspoon of oil and the tuna and fry for a minute on each side.
- Serve the fish, garnished with the coriander leaves and lime cheeks, with the tomato and mint chutney, poppadoms, and yogurt.
