About Mas Huni
Mas huni is a Maldivian breakfast dish of tuna, grated coconut, onion and chilli, commonly accompanied by roshi flatbread. Maldives Cook contributor azu presents this smoked-tuna rendition with lemon juice and scotch bonnet pepper.
Smoked fish brings savoury depth to the coarse coconut mixture. Onion adds crunch, the pepper contributes heat, and lemon supplies a sharp citrus note against the coconut’s richness.
The mixture is served alongside flatbread, with its separate flecks of fish, coconut and onion still apparent. Soft roshi gives the breakfast plate a substantial bread accompaniment beside the coconut-rich fish.
