When you want to consume them, simply defrost them in refrigerator and cook them off (following the instructions given below).
How to reheat them?

Recipe Notes:
- You can substitute tuna with boiled and shredded chicken, beef or mutton.
- If you want to make them for kids, just skip the chillies.
- To make tuna kebab healthier, you can fry them in clarified butter.
- You can also add a few spoons of ground flaxseed to the mixture for maximum health benefits (consuming flaxseeds is like eating salmon). It also helps in binding the kebabs together.
