It comes as no surprise owing to the cluster of teeny tiny islands that make up this beautiful nation. Twisting and turning different type of fish with a touch of flavor and spices, you get dishes that make you stop and relish the taste before devouring your next bite.

Maldivian cuisine has a beautiful combination of South Indian influences with a touch of the authentically Maldivian making it unique in taste and texture. The primary ingredient in almost every Maldivian dish is fish; Barracuda and Tuna in particular which are cooked in different ways using a combination of a number of other ingredients abundant in the Maldives. Garudhiya makes one of the most popular of all Maldivian dishes that is renowned both locally and internationally. This is more or less a clear soup that contains chunks of Tuna in it along with the fish head that adds to the fresh fishy flavor. Then there is another popular fish curry which is called the Hanaakurimas; here both dry fish and fresh fish are cooked together with a rich array of spices. A popular snack in the Maldives is Gulha; these are actually fish balls that have a combination of onions, coconut, lime juice and ginger. The blend of flavors really makes it a favorite. There is also the ever popular Bajiya; a dough stuffed with Tuna, something like a fish bun and a couple of different Mashunis. These are only a few favorite sea food dishes in Maldives, but almost every seafood dish in this country happens to be somebody’s favorite.
