The Maldivian cuisine is heavily influenced by Sri Lankan and Indian flavors. Mas Huni is a popular dish consisting of marinated tuna preserved with spices and coconut. Tuna is a staple in the Maldives due to its abundance in the surrounding Indian Ocean. The dish is often served during special occasions and is considered a national delicacy.
Rihaakuru is another widely enjoyed Maldivian dish that is a type of fish or chicken curry. It is prepared using local spices, such as cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom, which give the curry a unique and rich taste. This dish is typically eaten with rice or roshi (a type of flatbread).
Gulha is a popular snack in the Maldives made from a mixture of tuna, chili, onions, and a blend of spices, all wrapped in a banana leaf and steamed. These savory parcels are a great example of the island's love for seafood and spices. They can be found at local markets, street vendors, or served as a side dish during meals.
