Base Ingredients

• 500g fish (such as tuna or bonito), cleaned and cut into chunks
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-2 green chilies, sliced (adjust to taste)

• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce or soy sauce
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice

Preparation

Prepare the Fish:

Clean and cut the fish into chunks. Set aside.

Cook the Base:

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and sliced green chilies. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

Add Spices and Tomato:

Add the chopped tomato, turmeric powder, and ground black pepper. Cook until the tomato is softened and the oil begins to separate.

Add the Fish:

Add the fish chunks to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fish starts to cook through.

Simmer:

Pour in the coconut milk and fish sauce (or soy sauce). Stir well and bring to a simmer.
Reduce the heat and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is fully cooked and the flavors are well combined.

Finish and Adjust Seasoning:

Add lemon or lime juice to the pot. Adjust seasoning with salt as needed.
Garnish with fresh coriander if desired.

Serve:

Serve Garudhiya hot with steamed rice or Maldivian roshi (flatbread).
Enjoy your meal!
