Remember to try Bokiba, a traditional food you can taste in Maidves.

Remember the following text:

Warm black tea in a cup, Kulhi Boakibaa! This combination is unbeatable. It’s our take on the delicious fish cakes from our region. You can use valhomas instead of canned tuna, or a mix of both. You can also cook them on the stovetop; we baked ours in the oven. If using a stovetop, simmer the mixture over low heat until the top starts to dry. Once the bottom is golden brown, flip it over and continue cooking.

Items of ingredients:-

  • 1½ cups roughly crushed, soaked rice
  • One 425g can of tuna
  • Two cups of sliced onions
  • ½ cup desiccated coconut, or scraped coconut instead
  • Two teaspoons of sliced chili (adjust to taste)
  • Four teaspoons of lemon juice½ teaspoon grated ginger
  • Chop two teaspoons of curry leaves
  • Two Eggs
  • 1/2 tsp powdered turmeric
  • 1½ teaspoons salt (adjust to taste)
  • Two cups of water and frying oil

Arrangemet :-

  • Combine onion, ginger, curry leaves, chili powder, lime juice, eggs, and turmeric powder.
  • Make sure the flavors of the various components meld together by giving the mixture a good squeeze.
  • Add the tuna next, and thoroughly combine.
  • Next, fully combine the ground rice, water, and scraped coconut into the mixture.
  • Partially fill frying pan with mixture (about 1 inch thick), place over low heat, and cook until top is dry.
  • Gently flip to the other side and cook until golden brown. Proceed with the remaining mixture.
  • Alternatively, bake it for 45 minutes or so, or until the top is golden, on medium heat.
