Gulha

Gulha is a traditional Maldivian dish, often served as a snack or appetizer. It is a type of dumpling, filled with a mixture of tuna, coconut, onions, and chili peppers, and then deep-fried until golden brown.

History

The origins of Gulha are deeply rooted in the Maldivian culture. The dish is believed to have been introduced by the Maldivians themselves, who have a long history of fishing and a rich culinary tradition based on seafood.

Preparation

The preparation of Gulha involves several steps. First, the filling is made by combining finely chopped tuna, grated coconut, finely chopped onions, and chili peppers. This mixture is then seasoned with salt and pepper.

Next, the dough is prepared by combining flour, water, and a little salt. The dough is then rolled out and cut into small circles.

The filling is placed in the center of each dough circle, and the edges are folded over and sealed to form a half-moon shape. The dumplings are then deep-fried until they are golden brown.

Serving

Gulha is typically served hot, often as a snack or appetizer. It is commonly enjoyed with a cup of black tea, and is a popular choice for breakfast or tea time in the Maldives.
