Kulhimas

Kulhimas is a traditional dish originating from the Maldives. The dish consists of spiced tuna and it's usually made with a combination of tuna, onions, curry leaves, hot peppers, garlic, ginger, grated coconut, cardamom, cumin, red chili powder, oil, salt, and black pepper.


Everything except the tuna is blended into a smooth paste. The tuna is mixed with the spicy paste, and the mixture is then cooked over low heat to release the flavors. If desired, coconut milk or cream can also be added to the mixture. Kulhimas is often served with roshi, a typical Maldivian flatbread.
