Hedhikaa

Riha Folhi is one of those comforting Maldivian favourites that many of us grew up enjoying at tea time or on special evenings at home.

Sausage rolls are a popular Maldivian hedhikaa (shorteats) among kids and adults especially at tea parties and iftar spreads.

Egg Puffs are a familiar sight on many Maldivian Iftar tables.

Cake Folhi is exactly like a pancake. It is a popular Maldivian tea-time snack, and unlike regular pancakes, it is served without any toppings.

Mas Banas is the Maldivian version of Sri Lanka’s Maalu Paan.

Gerikiru Boakibaa is a delicious little in-between dessert - not quite a cake, not quite a boakibaa, but something wonderfully in its own lane.

Havaadhulee Bis might be a bit challenging to those attempting it for the first time.

Bajiya is one of the most popular tea-time snacks in the Maldives.

Here we have a healthier version of one of our favourite hedhikaa, gulha. It is made with whole wheat flour and baked in the oven instead of deep frying. 

Caramel pudding is just eggs and condensed milk.
