Dishes are habitually spicy and hot by British standards and make use of very few vegetables, but habitually include coconuts.
A traditional Maldivian meal comprises a fish broth, rice and side dishes of onions, lime and chilli. Some other common dishes consist of mas huni, fihunu mas and bambukeylu hiti.
