This nourishing fish soup is one of the staple Maldivian dishes. In its basic form, it is usually prepared with chunks of tuna that are slowly simmered in water, while the additions may include curry and pandan leaves, onions, or fresh chili peppers.

The soup is served with fresh or deep-fried chili peppers, sliced onions, rice, lemon wedges, or roshi (Maldivian flatbread) on the side.
