Fish Curry
咖喱鱼
Traditional Maldivian cuisine, also known as Dhivehi cuisine, has wonderful variety of tastes and flavors, ranging from crunchy snacks and street foods accompanied by wood-fired chapati bread to complex and delicious spicy curries. It is a rich assemblage of traditional flavors with strong influences from its neighboring countries, such as India and Sri Lanka. In the past, Maldivians depended on essential ingredients such as fish, coconuts, breadfruit, millet and tubers, and over time, with the influence of foreigners from ancient trade and travel, Maldivian cuisine developed a distinctive blend with its own unique flavors, symbolizing a unique culinary identity. Today, traditional Maldivian cuisine is based on three main ingredients and their derivatives, namely coconut, fish, and starches.
传统的马尔代夫美食，也被称为Dhivehi美食，有各种各样的口味，从松脆的小吃和街上的食物配上烧柴的chapati面包，到复杂美味的辣咖喱。它是一个丰富的传统风味的集合，受到印度和斯里兰卡等邻国的强烈影响。以前，马尔代夫人依靠鱼类、椰子、面包果、小米和块茎等基本食材，随着时间的推移，后来受外国商人和旅游人的影响下，马尔代夫美食发展出了独具特色的混合风味，象征着独特的烹饪身份。如今，传统的马尔代夫美食是基于三种主要成分及其衍生物，即椰子、鱼和淀粉。
