Mas Riha, a beloved dish in Maldivian cuisine, encapsulates the flavors of the Indian Ocean with its aromatic spices and succulent tuna.

Originating from the Maldives, this curry showcases the region’s rich culinary heritage and the importance of seafood in local diets. Mas Riha exemplifies the fusion of bold spices and fresh ingredients, offering a tantalizing journey for the taste buds.

Preparing Mas Riha is a culinary art that requires skill and patience. The key to this dish lies in the harmonious blend of spices, including cumin, turmeric, chili, and curry leaves, which infuse the curry with depth and complexity. Freshly caught tuna is the star ingredient, adding a delicate sweetness to the robust flavors of the curry.

To begin, onions, garlic, and ginger are sautéed until golden brown, releasing their aromatic essence. The spices are then toasted to enhance their flavors before being combined with coconut milk to create a luscious base for the curry. Finally, the tuna is added to the simmering curry, allowing it to absorb the fragrant spices and tenderize to perfection.

The finished Mas Riha is a feast for the senses, with its vibrant colors and enticing aroma beckoning diners to indulge. Each spoonful of the creamy curry offers a burst of flavor, from the warmth of the spices to the succulence of the tuna. Mas Riha is typically served with steamed rice or roshi (Maldivian flatbread), providing the perfect canvas to soak up the savory sauce.

Whether enjoyed in the Maldives or recreated in your own kitchen, Mas Riha invites you to experience the taste of paradise with every delectable bite.

If you’re always looking for healthy salad recipes to devour, this trending TikTok recipe — with over 6 million views — would be an exciting choice. It will give you an ideal balance of sweet and salty flavours, making it a perfect summer recipe. The salad takes less than 5-10 minutes to prepare. So, take a look at the essential ingredients and give it a try.

● ½ fresh watermelon

● 1 cup crumbled feta

● ¼ thinly cut slices of red onion

● ¼ cup fresh mint, chopped and dried

● ¼ cup Fresh Basil, chopped

● 1 ½ cups English cucumber, chopped

● Salt and black pepper

● ¼ cup olive oil

● ¼ cup red wine vinegar

● 1 squeezed lime, juiced

Step 1:

Begin with adequately chopping off the refreshed watermelon until all the rind is removed, and you can see the fruit’s flesh. Make one-inch cuts horizontally and vertically, so when you rotate it at 90 degrees, you can easily cut all the watermelon into smaller delicious cubes. And set them in a bowl.

Step 2:

It’s time to pickle the red onions. Do this process 10-15 minutes before you start preparing the salad, so you can directly add them to the bowl filled with watermelon. Put the red onions in the red wine vinegar, add the lime juice, sprinkle some salt, and mix them appropriately to soften the onion’s sour taste.

Step 3:

Mix the pickled red onion blend, along with cucumber, mint, basil, and crumbled feta — and add them to the watermelon bowl. Give them a good shake before adding the salad dressing on top. Add the red wine vinegar, olive oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well before serving. Your delicious, healthy watermelon feta salad is ready to be plated. If you made a big batch, you can even store the salad in airtight containers for about three to four days.
