1

Garudhiya

If food is the gasoline that keeps us alive, then delicious food is the fuel that keeps us happy. This meal, which is so delicious you'll want to lick your fingers after eating it, is called garudhiya and it's a fish soup. Garudhiya is best enjoyed with roshi, which is a traditional Maldivian flatbread. Don't forget to try this dish at a reputed Maldives restaurant offered by the likes of OZEN LIFE MAADHOO for authentic flavours.

Mashuni

If you're looking for a breakfast alternative that isn't heavy, is high in nutrients, and will make your mouth water, well then, you need to try mashuni. Tuna plus coconut are the dish's two basic components, and they are combined with chopped chillies, onions, and peppers.

Masroshi

Masroshi might be a meal in itself or it can be served as an accompaniment to tea. Maroshi is best served either for breakfast or with evening tea. The filling is made with some incredible ingredients native to the country!

Gulha

Gulha is a renowned evening snack that is served at almost every café as well as the restaurant here in the Maldives. It is essentially a delightful variation of dumplings. This dish features a filling that is made of tuna fish that has been coated with local spices, which gives the dish an extra punch.

Boshi Mashuni

Boshi Mashuni is a salad/salsa that has a blend of crunch as well as a juicy bite to it. The key components of this meal include fresh coconut, banana blossoms, cumin, spices, curry leaves, and chillies. The addition of these elements modestly enhances the dish's textural profile without significantly altering the flavour profile.

Rihaakuru

The tuna fish is the main attraction of this meal. Rihaakuru, which is mostly a sauce, is created in every local home and it takes a great deal of time to make it. And guess what? It's well worth the effort! The flavours are simply divine.

Live Lobsters

The experience of seeing a live lobster being cooked and then tasting it is one that will stay with you for the rest of your life. The locals will tell you that the flavour of a lobster that has been cooked to perfection is wonderful and almost impossible to turn down. So, make sure to trust their word for it and try this dish when in the Maldives!
