Masroshi

It's built from the same mas huni filling Maldivians spoon onto their breakfast roshi — just sealed inside the dough and cooked on a dry griddle instead, turning a scoop-and-eat breakfast into a hand-held snack.
Roshi dough is rolled thin, filled with mas huni — shredded smoked tuna, grated coconut, onion, chili and lime — folded over, and cooked on a dry griddle until lightly charred. Malé tea shops sell it as a heartier hedhikaa option that doubles as a packed lunch.
Why it's made this way: Folding mas huni into dough rather than serving it loose let vendors turn the Maldives' everyday breakfast mixture into a portable, mess-free snack suited to a busy capital where people eat on the move.
