Cuisine : Mas Huni - how to prepare traditional Maldivian dish

 



Mas Huni is a traditional Maldivian breakfast dish that's simple yet delicious. Here's how it's typically prepared:


Ingredients:

- Tuna (fresh or canned), shredded

- Coconut, grated

- Onion, finely chopped

- Green chili, finely chopped (optional)

- Lime juice, to taste

- Salt, to taste

- Flatbread (roshi) or rice, to serve


Instructions:


1. **Prepare the Tuna**: If using fresh tuna, clean and remove any bones. Then, finely shred the tuna using a grater or knife. If using canned tuna, drain the liquid and shred the tuna using a fork.


2. **Grate the Coconut**: Crack open a mature coconut and remove the flesh. Grate the coconut using a grater or a food processor until you have a fine texture.


3. **Mix Tuna and Coconut**: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded tuna and grated coconut in equal parts. The ratio of tuna to coconut can vary based on personal preference. Some people prefer a higher proportion of coconut for a richer flavor.


4. **Add Onion and Chili**: Add finely chopped onion and green chili to the tuna and coconut mixture. Adjust the amount of chili according to your spice preference. The onion adds a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor to the dish.


5. **Seasoning**: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture to add acidity and brightness. Sprinkle salt to taste, keeping in mind that the tuna and coconut will already have some natural saltiness.


6. **Mix Well**: Use a spoon or clean hands to thoroughly mix all the ingredients until well combined. Make sure the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.


7. **Serve**: Mas Huni is traditionally served with flatbread known as roshi or alongside rice. Place a portion of the Mas Huni on a plate and serve it with freshly baked roshi or steamed rice.


8. **Enjoy**: Mas Huni is best enjoyed fresh and can be eaten for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack throughout the day. It pairs well with hot tea or coffee for a satisfying meal.


This simple yet flavorful dish captures the essence of Maldivian cuisine and is a beloved breakfast staple among locals and visitors alike. Adjust the ingredients according to your taste preferences and enjoy the authentic flavors of the Maldives!
