Just a couple of days ago we celebrated our 2nd anniversary. Yay!
While we are so, so excited about the upcoming chapters of Lonumedhu, below we look back at the most noteworthy posts from our second year!
And before you begin reading the list, please know that we are really happy to share this journey with you and so grateful for your love and support.
No recipe by us was ever read as much as you guys read our Dhon Riha recipe, both the Dhivehi and English versions of it. So we are going to begin our list with this light and lovely curry.
Our recipe for the comfy spicy tea received so much love from you guys. Do try it out sometime if you haven’t already; we can promise you that it’s quite satisfying.
This Rihaakuru laced spicy breadfruit curry turned out to be a blast from the past for us, as well as for many of our readers.
Another nostalgic number, this one takes us back to the children’s birthday parties of the 80s. They are colourful, sweet, coconutty and just so good that we’ve never been able to enjoy just one and leave it at that.
There’s probably nothing much we can say about Boakuri Falho that you already don’t know. Everyone seems to love it, and so do we.
