Until at least 40 years ago, the lives of Maldivians were simple and modest. The men<br />

sailed out to the sea and brought their catches to the wives and womenfolk to cook<br />

and preserve. Garudhiya (fish soup) was made for lunch and dinner as the main savoury<br />

dish, while the rest of the fish would be dried or smoked on a pier. The water used for<br />

cooking the fish would be boiled and re-boiled until it turned into a dark thick paste<br />

that the locals call Rihaakuru – every local’s favourite condiment.<br />
