In southern Iran we have ghalyeh meygu as well. It's similar to ghalyeh mahi but instead of fish, it's made with shrimp

In Srilanka there is a qaliya (We call it Kaliya) which is prepared only among the Muslims.
Quite oddly its made by frying eggplant and raw bananas then we cook it together with chicken liver and gizzard which is optional and finished with coconut milk which gives it a creamy velvety texture.
Usually known as the Kidu meal, which is rice dish accompanied by a a meat curry, dhal and cooked raw mango or with sweet onion, carrot and banana pepper pickle which we call achchar.
in this picture you can see it on the left of the frame added on the rice.
it comes in a basket made with coconut leaves and banana leaves at the bottom so stop leakage.
It's a festive meal usually prepared distributed by the mosque to the neighbourhood during the month of ashura.

Then why keep the name mahi, why not just gosht/mutton qaliyah
