About Boshi Mashuni
Lonumedhu’s Boashi Mas Huni is a Maldivian banana-blossom mixture with grated coconut and smoked tuna. The publisher presents it as a breakfast dish, within the islands’ established ways of using banana blossom.
Lime, onion and Scotch bonnet give it a sharp, lively flavour, with curry leaves adding an aromatic note. Smoked tuna brings a savoury fish element alongside the coconut.
The banana blossom is boiled until cooked while retaining some bite, then mixed gently through the other ingredients. Thin slices of blossom, onion and tuna remain part of the dish’s varied texture.
