Vahesammude

Vahesammude is a traditional dish from the Maldives, a group of atolls in the Indian Ocean. It is a popular breakfast dish, often served with tea or coffee. The dish is made from a mixture of grated coconut, sugar, and a small amount of water, which is then cooked until it thickens into a sticky, sweet paste. This paste is then mixed with a variety of ingredients, including grated coconut, desiccated coconut, raisins, and sometimes nuts or dried fruits. The mixture is typically served warm, often with a sprinkle of cinnamon or cardamom for added flavor. Vahesammude is a sweet and comforting dish, reflecting the Maldivian culture's love for sweet treats. It is often enjoyed by locals and visitors alike, making it a staple in Maldivian cuisine.
