At first, he made [tex]2\frac{5}{8}[/tex] kg of tuna filling.

Mr Abdul made tuna and curry potato filling for some puffs.

3/5 of the filling he made was tuna and the rest was curry potato.

So, amount of curry potato = 1- 3/5 = 2/5

Ratio of tuna & curry potato = tuna : curry potato

                                               = 3/5 : 2/5  = 3 : 2

Let amount of tuna = 3x & amount of curry potato = 2x

After he used 1/8kg of the tuna filling and made another 3/4 kg of curry potato filling.

According to the question, he then had equal amounts of tuna filling and curry potato filling left.

So, 3x - 1/8 = 2x + 3/4

Multiplying 8 in both sides we get,

⇒ 24x - 1 = 16x +6

⇒ 24x - 16x = 7

⇒ 8x = 7

⇒ x = 7/8

So, 3x = (3×7/8) = 21/8 kg = [tex]2\frac{5}{8}[/tex] tuna filling at first.
