Discovering The Gourmet Paradise Of Maldives
Have you ever dined by the Indian Ocean? It’s time to take a culinary tour to Maldives with Eatagram!
The Maldives, located in the Indian Ocean, beckons travellers with the turquoise water of the ocean, pristine beaches, serene views, and exotic food.
Not sure what to start with? As the ocean provides the country with an abundance of fresh catches, seafood is the cornerstone of the local cuisine. We absolutely recommend the iconic tuna soup called garudhiya. It’s cooked with lime, curry leaves and garlic. Locals enjoy it with rice and onions. Mas huni is another must-try for seafood lovers. This traditional breakfast features smoked fish, grated coconut, and chili. Mas huni tastes better with flatbread. If you prefer fiery dishes, be sure to taste fihunu mas, marinated and grilled fish with chili.
Maldivian cuisine has been influenced by South Indian, Sri Lankan, and Arab culinary traditions.This resulted in such iconic dishes as bambukeylu harisa and kulhi boakibaa.
On a hot day in the Maldives, cool off with a glass of refreshing kurumba with coconut milk or sai, chilled sweetened tea with cloves and cardamom.
Can’t decide on a dessert? Treat yourself to the coconut filled flatbread called huni roshi. Or luxuriate in bondibaiy, a sweet rice pudding with coconut milk.
We promise, you’ll fall in love with the Maldives!
