Ransaru Maldive Fish Chips
Continuing a tradition passed on by the Maldives, a type of cured tuna called "Maldives fish" has been a part of Sri Lankan cuisine for over decades. Popularly known as "umbalakada" among Sri Lankans these Maldives fish chips are a delight when added to various dishes like onion sambals and tempered dishes and is favoured among many for its unique taste.
Maldives fish chips is also considered the Sri Lankan equivalent of Southeast Asia's dried shrimp or dried anchovies. The taste reminds you of the sea, similar to dried shrimp but leaning more towards a fishy sensation.
Adding a little bit of Maldives fish chips to a sambal goes a long way. Sri Lankans love to add umbalakada in tempered dishes like potatoes, lunu miris (onion sambal with chilli pieces), and seeni sambol (sautéed onion with tamarind pulp and sugar). The chips are a bit chewy and hard but give a unique taste to your food.
