Note

This recipe originates from Ambon in Maluku, where tuna is abundant.

If fresh tuna is not available, drained canned tuna can be used as a substitute, though the flavor will be less vibrant.

For added heat, adjust the amount of chilies in the paste to your preference.

Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and freshness of the fruits and fish.
