First mix the Masgandu. Don't be afraid dirty up your hands and taste.
Now make balls from the Masgandu. You can eat a few balls to remind yourself of your childhood days eating the bare Masgandu.

Now mix the Fuhgandu and make balls from them as well. Push your thumbs into these balls to make baskets and put the Masgandu balls into them. Slowly it round to bring the shape of a Gulha. Then fry until golden brown.

Serve with sugary black tea.

"Golhabo's red team has won" said Maaburey

Today he is wearing red underwear, red shorts, and a red jersey with another Man's name printed very large on the back. He colored his face with something that looks like our flag. For the past few days he has been carrying a flag with him. Riding his Wave look-alike motorcycle all around Male'. Singing songs like 'Footbolhain Mulhi Gaumah Faidhaa Hoadhaaney...' (whole country profiting from football). A song which the state owned TV Maldives (GolhaTV) has been playing over and over again. This songs makes Maaburey really feel that by winning in football on a tournament which six or seven of the world's lowest football ranking countries participated in can make his life better.

He's living in a 3 bedroom apartment with 15 family members and a maid. Each room with LCD TV and one room with one aircond. Maaburey's mother who has gone for two Hajjs in her life is waiting to to go to India for a major surgery when she gets the funding arranged.

Maaburey is a football. He drinks football juice he eats football. Maaburey plays Playstation football in his free time. Just like every other intelligent Maldivian. Maaburey is a football fan. Specially when it comes to supporting the national Team.

Maaburey is also a huge MDP supporter. But today there is no MDP or DRP. Everyone is united behind the number one. The goal keeper.

After watching a loud match on TV today Maaburey jumped up to the sky and said "Golhab's red team has won". It was a moment he felt one with number one. And everything started to flash in front of his eyes. After 29 years of waiting Golhabo's team has managed to win. And now Maaburey's shouting and running around on his Wave look-alike bike. All over male'. I asked him if he's drunk like the rest of the others.

We love our Golhabo's team. And will give a great welcome back to Golhabo and his team. And this will make Golhabo win the election too. If we want our team to win, keep the number one, the number one! The population likes to get drunk on Golhabo! Most still fall for Golhaa's traps. The rest of us just has to wait, another 5, 10, 30 or a 1000 years more.
