Maldivian flat bread made with potato and fish is called mas aluvi roshi.  I love Indian flat bread and this was a delicious way to enjoy it. This bread can be made rolled out flat or in rounds and stuffed with the potato and fish filling.  I made ours rolled out flat and to be honest it was a little tricky but the end result was excellent.  I loved these and would enjoy them for a light lunch on their own anytime.  In the Maldives these would be made with smoked tuna called tuna valhoa mas alternatively a can of tuna can be used which is how I made ours.  Enjoy!
