5 Delicious Dishes to Try in the Maldives - Indulge in the Flavours of Paradise

The Maldives is often referred to as a paradise here on Earth. But have you ever been curious about the cuisine of the Maldives? If you haven't, now is the time to do so! Do not miss out on any of these delectable!

1

Garudhiya

Garudhiya is regarded as an essential component of Maldive's traditional cuisine, and almost every resident of the country enjoys eating it. And that's why it is regarded as a must try cuisine in Maldives. Cooking the tuna for a short period of time in the stock is all that is required. To put it another way, it's essentially a soup made with fish. On the other hand, most Maldivians prefer to enjoy it with rice or sometimes roshi. If you're looking for more information on Maldivian food, there are several resources available online like The Maldives Travel that can help you explore the cuisine in more depth.

Muguriha

While Muguriha, also known as dhal curry, didn't originate in the Maldives, the version that is prepared here is rather unique. Rice is the most usual accompaniment, and roshi is also sometimes used. In contrast to the other types of curries that are prepared in the Maldives, muguriha is a very simple dish since it uses just a few spices. If you are looking for a curry that is easy on the stomach and that isn't too spicy yet packs a punch with its taste, this is the dish for you.

3

Mashuni

There is no question that mashuni is the signature dish of a Maldivian meal, and there is no such thing as a complete breakfast when it does not include both mashuni as well as roshi. The word "mashuni" comes from the Malay words for "fish" plus "desiccated coconut". These are the two primary components of the dish. The fish that is used to make mashuni is a kind of canned tuna that is manufactured in the Maldives.

Masfen

One of the quickest and easiest meals to prepare, and also one of the most delectable, is masfen. This is yet another recipe that is prepared using tuna that has been canned. This one is also made by adding fresh coconut milk, onions, lime, and chilli. Combine all of the ingredients for a delectable meal that is truly divine!

5

Bondibaiy

Since it is usually always prepared for special events, bondibaiy is among those foods that cause one to have a sense of nostalgia. Rice is cooked with sugar, some rose syrup, plus pandan leaves. Even though a sweet dish, it is generally eaten along with a fiery chicken or some beef gravy. To be fair, kids these days seldom get to devour this dish much as it is rarely made at home. But events like christenings aren't complete without portions of bondibaiy. Large grain rice, also known as aadhaige handoo, was formerly used to make bondibaiy, although these days basmati rice is more frequently used. When in the Maldives, you cannot miss out on this delicacy! So make sure to jot it down in your list of food to try!
