Traditional Maldivian cuisine is based on three main ingredients and their derivatives, namely coconut, fish, and starches containing grains and vegetables.
Maldivian food is light and full of flavors.
The most typical dish is Kahtala Kiru Garudiya (sweet potato curry), a curry made from coconut milk and smoked fish, often eaten with chapati or rice, lime and chili. The curry is poured over rice, mixed up by hand and eaten with the fingers.
