A simple salad that comprises of the best of everything the Maldives has to offer, you will find this dish even at high-end restaurants found at resorts the likes of Reethi Faru Resort. In essence, it is a salad made of banana flower. If you have not seen a banana flower, it is the furthest one can picture what a flower is. Red and long, almost like a conch shell, the outer layers of the flower can be peeled to reveal the tendrils of banana. These are lightly sautéed to make a crunchy salad, mixed with freshly grated coconut. Fried curry leaves are added for added flavour, and turmeric and cumin give the dish its distinct smell. Some add a bit of lime for a tangy twist, and a sprinkling of Maldivian chilli for that unique burst at each bite.
