The first category in Maldivian food is reserved for its traditional dishes that have been enjoyed by generation after generation of locals with recipes handed down through the annals of time to the present day. Whether one is dining at a Maldives restaurant in a venue such as OZEN Life Maadhoo or a cafe in Male, one is likely to come across some of these dishes at one point or another. These include everything from the aromatic fish broth known as Garudiya to Roshi flatbread. The Mashuni salad, which is a combination that's made using tuna fish combined with chilli, onion, and coconut shavings is another staple in most local homes along with Rihaakuru, a brown fish paste. Kavaabu, which is a deep-fried dish that is made using tuna, lentils, rice, and coconut is another firm favourite in addition to fried banana cakes known as Dhonkeyo kajuru. Sai or Maldivian tea is perhaps the most conventional beverage in the island nation with Raa or toddy coming in at second as the preferred alcoholic substitute among locals.
