Mas riha (Dhivehi: މަސް ރިހަ) is a delicious fish curry that comes from the Maldives. The Maldives is a tropical island country located in South Asia. This curry is a very important part of Maldivian food.

People in the Maldives often eat Mas riha with steamed white rice. If they have it for breakfast, they usually eat it with a flatbread called roshi (which is like a chapati) and a hot cup of tea.

Making This Delicious Curry

Mas riha is usually made with fresh tuna. The most common types of tuna used are kaṇḍumas (skipjack tuna), kanneli (yellowfin tuna), or laṭṭi (little tunny).

Here's how it's generally made:

• First, the fish is cut into small pieces.
• Then, these fish pieces are cooked slowly over a low heat.
• They are cooked together with a mix of fried onions and different spices.
• After that, some water is added to the pot.
• The curry is left to simmer, which means it cooks gently for a while.
• Finally, just before it's ready, creamy coconut milk is stirred in. This makes the curry rich and flavorful.
