Cook the sauce
Heat a dash of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until golden brown, 6-8 minutes.

Add the chopped tomatoes, stir to combine and fry for 1 minute.
Add the turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin and garam masala, fresh chillies and season with salt. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes. If the paste feels too thick, add a splash of water.
Add the drained tuna to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the peas, olives and capers, along with a generous glug of water to create the consistency of a thick gravy. Cover with a lid and cook for 3 minutes.
