Keemiyaa

Keemiyaa is a traditional dish originating from the Maldives. The dish is usually made with a combination of tuna, curry leaves, onions, garlic, ginger, peas, Scotch Bonnet peppers, lemon juice, mustard seeds, oil, salt, and dough made with flour, oil, salt, and water. The onions and mustard seeds are sautéed in oil, while the garlic, ginger, curry leaves, chili peppers, lemon juice, salt, and half of the onions are mashed and mixed with the tuna and peas. The dough is rolled out into circles, topped with the tuna mixture, then shaped into rolls that are deep-fried until golden brown. Once drained, keemiyaa is served as a snack that's similar to spring rolls.
