Malu Embul Thiyal is a traditional Sri Lankan dish with a rich history, often enjoyed as a special meal. The name “embul thiyal” means “sour curry,” and it’s typically made with fish, usually tuna, cooked in a tangy, spicy sauce.
The dish features a unique blend of tamarind, which gives it a sour taste, along with spices like black pepper, turmeric, and curry leaves for added depth. 
The fish becomes tender and absorbs all the flavors, making it deliciously savory, sour, and slightly spicy. Malu Embul Thiyal is a flavorful, comforting dish that’s often served with rice.
