Mashuni is a traditional Maldivian dish primarily made from tuna mixed with grated coconut, onions, and chilies, often seasoned with lime juice and salt. This flavorful combination is typically enjoyed with roshi, an unleavened flatbread, making it a staple breakfast item in Maldivian cuisine. Rich in lean protein from tuna, Mashuni provides essential amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. The coconut contributes healthy fats and dietary fiber, while onions and chilies offer antioxidants and vitamins. However, due to its reliance on salt for seasoning, those monitoring their sodium intake may want to adjust the recipe. Mashuni is a balanced, nutrient-dense dish that reflects the Maldivian reliance on fresh seafood and tropical ingredients, offering both health benefits and a taste of the island's culinary heritage.
