Boashi



Creamy banana blossom fry from the Maldives
The Maldives takes it name from an ancient word for “garland of flowers”. Its tropical atolls burst with colour: from green jungle, to white sands, to rainbow coral reefs. Boashi is the edible flower of the banana tree. It grows on almost every island and was a delicacy in the court of the old Maldives sultans. Boashi is healthy, vegan, and best enjoyed with crisp spices and creamy coconut milk.
