Fuhjehi kavaabu

Fuhjehi kavaabu are traditional fritters originating from the Maldives. The two main components of these fritters are the batter and the tuna mixture. The batter is made with flour, eggs, salt, baking powder, turmeric, and water, while the tuna mixture is made with canned tuna, Scoth Bonnet peppers, curry leaves, potatoes, ginger, pepper, salt, onions, and lemon juice. The tuna mixture is shaped into small balls and placed into the batter. The balls are scooped from the batter and fried in heated oil until golden brown. These fritters are especially popular during Ramadan.
