📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Roshi is the flatbread eaten daily as a Maldivian staple, similar to Indian chapati. Dough of flour, water, salt, and a little oil is rolled thin and cooked on a griddle. It goes with everything — mas huni at breakfast, curry at lunch, garudhiya at dinner.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a Maldivian kitchen, a woman cooks thin rounds one after another on a round griddle and wraps the finished roshi in cloth to keep warm.
