Malu Miris or Banana Chili Peppers are a commonly used type of chili in Sri Lankan cooking. However we use this chili pepper as a vegetable though it is still spicy. This dish is cooked with Canned tuna and Banana Peppers.It is spicy,but goes well with plain rice.

If you love cooking canned tuna in a curry,then check this Canned Tuna fish curry recipe too.

In case if you look for a vegetarian dish,simply avoid tuna fish.Follow the recipe instructions with only banana peppers as main ingredient.
