Best Garudhiya in Chicago
“A clear fish broth built from tuna species found in Maldivian waters, garudhiya remains a traditional favourite.”
What the real thing tastes like
Garudhiya (Dhivehi: ގަރުދިޔަ) is a clear fish broth. It is one of the basic and traditional food items of Maldivian cuisine. The broth is based on tuna species found in the nation's ocean waters such as skipjack (kanḍumas or goḍa), yellowfin tuna (kanneli), little tunny (lațți), or frigate tuna (raagonḍi). Despite the introduction of new items in the Maldivian cuisine, garudhiya is still a Maldivian favourite as it has been for generations.
