Mankuva is a traditional dish from the Maldives, a country 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. The mixture is then poured over a bed of steamed rice, which has been flavored with cardamom and cinnamon. The dish is typically garnished with sliced almonds or pistachios, and sometimes a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg. Mankuva is known for its sweet and creamy flavor, and its texture is similar to that of a pudding. It is a staple in Maldivian cuisine and is often enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. The dish is also popular in other parts of the Indian Ocean region, where it is often served as a dessert or a sweet treat.
