Fua Mulaku Havitta

Fua mulaku havitta is a traditional dish from the Maldives, which is a group of islands in the Indian Ocean. It is made with a type of bread called fua, which is made from rice flour and coconut milk.

To make the fua, grown-ups mix rice flour and coconut milk together until it forms a dough. Then, they shape the dough into small balls and flatten them into thin, round discs. These discs are cooked on a griddle until they are golden brown on both sides.

Once the fua bread is ready, it is cut into small pieces and served with a spicy mixture of tuna fish, onion, chili, and curry leaves. Kids can think of it like a big taco, but instead of a tortilla, it's a yummy and crispy rice and coconut bread filled with spicy fish and veggies.

Fua mulaku havitta is a popular snack or breakfast food in the Maldives and can be found in local markets and street food stalls across the islands.
