Maldivian vegetable curry called tharukaaree riha showcases the cuisine of the Maldives.  There is a big Indian and Sri Lanka influence on the Islands and curries of all types are loved there. They can be made with fish, chicken or this vegetarian version.  The beautiful color is derived from the use of turmeric a healthful spice used often in curry.  It has just a bit of heat with the use of a green chili and deliciously flavored with pandan leaf and curry leaves.   Serve with some white rice.  Enjoy!
