Theluli mas or spicy fried fish is very common in Maldivian cuisine.
The ingredients vary to prepare this fish from island to island. My recipe is a
very easy recipe as “lonumirus curry powder” which is a combination of dried chilies
& some spices sold almost in every local shops & it takes less than 15 minutes
to prepare. This fish is a must on our dinner & lunch table.

Ingredients:
1 Tuna lion about 650 grms (cut vertically in to 1/3 inchthick steaks)
21/2tbs lonumirus curry powder
21/2tbs tomato paste
Salt
1/3 to 1/2 cup vegetable oil or olive oil
Method:
In a bowl mix lonumirus curry powder, tomato paste & salt,
rub this paste on the tuna steaks & leave for ½ an hour covered with
plastic wrap. Heat oil in a sauce pan & arrange the steaks, put lid on
& cook on low heat until bottom is fried.
Turn the steaks to upside down
& fry again until slightly crispy. I like bottom of my steaks to burn the
paste lightly to give a stronger flavor. This goes well with anything, rice, roshi,
bread & even with boiled vegetables ………………………………………enjoy!
