Instructions

How it’s made

1. Grind all of the above ingredients together using a blender. I used the magic bullet to blend them until everything is crushed into bits and pieces.

2. You may grind it all the way to a paste if you prefer or grind it well enough to feel the bits and pieces. This way you will be able to taste the crunch of the maldive fish.

3. When it is done blending all the ingredients well, serve as a side with your favourite meal to add extra flavours
