Baraboa (Pumpkin) mas huni, Fai mas huni, Valhoa mas huni
Mas huni (Dhivehi: މަސްހުނި) is a typical Maldivianbreakfast, comprising tuna, onion, coconut, and chili.[2] All ingredients are finely chopped and mixed with the grated meat of the coconut. This dish is usually eaten with freshly baked roshi (flatbread) and sweetened hot tea.[1]
Preparation
The fish used in mas huni was as a rule cured tuna valhoamas but currently many Maldivians use canned tuna.
Mas huni may be made with kopee (collard greens) leaves.
Another variant of mas huni is made with muranga pods (Moringa oleifera) instead of leaves. First the pods are boiled; then the flesh with the seeds is scooped out. This is mixed with the rest of the ingredients. This same type of thicker mas huni can be also made with boiled butternut squash or pumpkin.[3]
