Garudhiya
Maldivian clear tuna broth seasoned simply with salt.

About Garudhiya
Garudhiya is a staple Maldivian tuna broth. This profile follows Visit Maldives' elemental version of fresh tuna boiled with water and a small amount of salt, keeping rice, roshi, chilli, lime and onion outside the broth.
Fresh tuna gives the clear broth a clean marine savouriness, while salt sharpens the fish's natural flavour. With no coconut milk or spice blend, the taste stays direct and light.
The broth is clear and pale with firm flakes or pieces of cooked tuna. It is thin and sippable rather than creamy or thick, with the fish remaining moist and substantial.
