The cuisine of the Maldives is quite fascinating, and is the amalgamation of a range of worldwide influences that hail from the Middle East, Sri Lanka, India, and even parts of South-East Asia.
Mas Huni
Given that around 90% of the Maldives consist of water, fish and various kinds of seafood form the primary basis of the nation’s cuisine. Mas Huni, a homogenous paste made from tuna, onions, chilli, and a few other ingredients is a legendary staple in Maldivian cuisine, especially for breakfast.
Roshi
Perhaps the best thing to consume Mas Huni with is roshi, the popular flatbread of the Maldives which is essentially the spiritual equivalent of chapatti. This combo is so famous that you’re guaranteed to discover it at more or less any Maldives resort with examples such as Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort.
Bis Keemiya
This exquisite snack is one of the best things about Maldivian cuisine, and it combines three of the most indulgent treats in the world: the curry puff, the spring roll and the samosa. It is essentially a massive rolled pastry stuffed with a mix of shredded cabbage, boiled eggs and spicy onions.
Saagu Bondibai
This exquisite dessert is an unforgettable way to satisfy your sweet cravings. It is a pudding made from sago that has been prepared with coconut milk, condensed milk, cardamom and rose. The resulting delicacy is almost dangerously delicious.
