This year’s Maldives Islamic Bank (MIB) calendar takes a unique turn, celebrating the heritage of Maldivian cuisine through a collection of traditional dishes featured month by month.
Each month highlights a different Maldivian meal, including:
Utheemu Kanamadhu Roshi / Metaa  
Dhuvaafaru Majaa  
Addu Bendi  
Velidhoo Muranga Baiy  
Landhoo Kulhavah  
Laamu Golha Riha  
Eydhafushi Baiypen  
Dhihdhoo Hithi & Baiy  
Dhiggaru Rihaakuru  
Fuvahmulah Kahtelhi  
Kulhudhufushi Haalu Folhi  
Hinnavaru Athujjehi  
Every page of the calendar includes a QR code that links to a video on MIB’s YouTube channel. The videos showcase each dish, explaining its unique characteristics and demonstrating how it is prepared. The stories and recipes are narrated by island communities themselves, adding authenticity and cultural depth.
MIB says the calendar is designed to celebrate the richness of Maldivian flavors and revive the history behind these traditional dishes.
