Mashuni is a very popular salad Maldivians eat with roshi(
Maldivian flat bread) for breakfast. There are many varieties of Mashuni, like dried
or smoked fish mashuni, potato mashuni, eggplant mashuni, carrot mashuni, and
so on. The main ingredients for mashuni is shredded coconut, fish, lime and
chilly. Those who visit Male’ it’s very easy to taste this dish as almost all restaurants
in Male’ serve Maldivian breakfast and If you want to make mashuni at home and
you don’t have a coconut scrapper don’t worry I found out that shredded coconut
is sold at felivaru fish shops. It’s frozen to maintain it’s freshness. I bought 3
packets and tested it. It’s very fresh. So the biggest problem is solved. In this
recipe I have used lettuce for a much healthier version.
