TRADITIONAL MALDIVIAN CUISINE A FAMILY STYLE MEAL Tradi�onal Maldivian cuisine, also known as Dhivehi cuisine, is an exo�c assemblage of rich flavors with strong influences from its neighboring countries, such as India and Sri Lanka. The delicious food boasts a dis�nct tang made up of mild spiciness, delicate sweetness, and a touch of the ocean, ranging from easy-ea�ng finger foods to complex and deliciously spicy curries. In the past, Maldivians depended on essen�al ingredients such as fish, coconuts, breadfruit, millet and tubers, and over �me, with the influence of foreigners from ancient trade and travel, Maldivian cuisine developed a dis�nc�ve blend with its own unique flavors, symbolizing a unique culinary iden�ty. Today, tradi�onal Maldivian cuisine is based on three main ingredients and their deriv- a�ves, namely coconut, fish, and starches containing grains and vegetables, and is prepared using ancient cooking methods that have been passed down through the genera�ons.
