Curried Tuna & Sweetcorn Sauce image

I can't believe that this student staple isn't on Zaar somewhere, but I certainly can't find it anywhere! This is my slightly more grown-up adaptation of the old store-cupboard standby where you take a can of tuna, a can of sweetcorn and a can of condensed mushroom soup. You can serve it with rice, or pasta, or toast, or baked potatoes...
