One thought on “Dhon Riha (Tuna Curry)

  • Forgot to mention that you sholud fry the ingredients as well as cover and cook on low heat. The former is because the red pepper gives off vapors that are seriously pungent and the latter because the pumpkin might get burnt on high heat (add a little water while cooking if needed).
