I do mine slightly different. I boil the beans and the bombay onions together first. (If you want a bit of crunch, save a little bit raw onion, dice and add in the end.)

I use tuna chunks in water. Discard the water, 'break-up' the tuna and add mayo. Then throw in lots of black pepper serbuk, serbuk chili or fresh chili or chili padi, or whatever you like.

Finally toss the beans, onions and tuna with the cooked pasta. (remember to put oil in the pasta when boiling, so that it does not stick and is smooth.)

Dee...lish!!!
