Mas riha
Mas riha is a traditional Maldivian dish, primarily composed of fish, coconut milk, and a variety of spices. It is considered a staple in Maldivian households and is often served with rice or roshi.
Ingredients and Preparation[edit | edit source]
The main ingredient in Mas riha is fish, typically tuna, although other types of fish can also be used. The fish is cut into chunks and cooked in a sauce made from coconut milk, which gives the dish its creamy texture.
The flavor of the dish is enhanced by a variety of spices, including turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili. These spices are commonly used in Maldivian cuisine and give the dish its distinctive taste.
In addition to the spices, Mas riha also includes onions, garlic, and curry leaves. These ingredients are sautéed in oil before the fish and coconut milk are added, which helps to release their flavors and aromas.
The dish is typically simmered until the fish is cooked and the flavors have melded together. It is then served hot, often with a side of rice or roshi.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
Mas riha holds a significant place in Maldivian culture. It is a common dish in households across the country and is often served at special occasions and gatherings. The dish is also popular in Maldivian restaurants and is considered a must-try for visitors to the country.
In addition to its popularity in the Maldives, Mas riha has also gained recognition internationally. It is often featured in cookbooks and food blogs that focus on Maldivian cuisine, and is praised for its rich flavors and creamy texture.
