📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Masroshi is a snack of the same tuna and coconut filling as mas huni, wrapped in thin dough into rounds and griddled flat. In the Maldives, snacks eaten at evening tea time are called hedhikaa, and masroshi is one of the most representative. Café counters display all kinds of hedhikaa to enjoy with sweet tea.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a small café in Malé, the Maldivian capital, round griddled snacks from the glass case are plated at evening tea time.
