What Garudhiya is
Clear tuna broth served with rice, lime and chilli.
Garudhiya is listed as a dish in the Maldives guide, where the index tags it seafood and rice-based. The index uses those labels to make an unfamiliar menu legible. What it cannot tell you is how this particular kitchen seasons, fries or plates the dish, so leave room to ask.
