Local Tourism in Maldives

The heart of Maldivian cuisine Rihaakuru, a traditional fish paste deeply loved by locals for its rich, concentrated flavor. 🐟💫 This delicacy, varying from light to dark brown, is a staple from breakfast to dinner, showcasing the Maldives’ love affair with the ocean’s bounty. Rihaakuru’s journey begins with fresh tuna cooked in salted water, a process that demands attention to remove the forming scum, known locally as ‘garu’. Once cooked, the tuna is set aside for smoked delights, while the essence transforms into Rihaakuru, enriched with bondi - tender fish balls crafted from the remnants of the tuna. 🌿🔥 The art of Rihaakuru is in its patience-required preparation, culminating in a savory paste after hours of careful evaporation. Its robust flavor perfectly complements rice and roshi, especially the coconut-infused huni roshi for a breakfast experience unlike any other. 🥥🍚 Elevate your mornings with theluli rihaakuru, a fried version bursting with onions, green mangoes, chillies
