Fish Kalia

Kalia is a typical middle-eastern Mauritian dish often referred to as a “light” Biryani because of the similarity in spices used for both dishes as well as their methods of cooking. So it’s a Biryani without the rice if you will!

If you have had Biryani before or have heard of the dish and of how amazing it is… well, you are in for an absolute treat with this Fish Kalia this week! It is such a divine dish cooked with a blend of mildly sweet and spicy flavours after marinating in saffron, yogurt, mint and so many more other flavours.

Kalias, just like Biryanis, are such special dishes that they are in fact usually served on special occasions in Mauritius such as the muslim festival, Eid, and other celebratory events.

Kalias are typically eaten with basmati rice, bread, accompanied with different chutneys, salads, or pickles on the side. So make your plans now… invite a few friends over; have a party; and order up this Friday’s supper feast from us!
