Havaadhulee Bis are Maldivian Traditional short eats used for evening tea. These are oval-shaped Dumplings boiled and cooked in thick Curry Paste. Main Ingredients used in Havaadhulee Bis are flour, tuna, coconut, scotch bonnet, lemon juice, curry powder, and tomato paste.
However, depending on the style of cooking, some ingredients like Panda leaves, curry leaves, turmeric powder, cardamom, and cinnamon are used.
