How to cook Mandazi
Mandazi are East African fried dough rolls sold every morning across Tanzania with tea. Less sweet than donuts, often scented with coconut or cardamom. Eaten with ginger tea or milk for breakfast.
- Mix yeast, a little sugar and warm milk; let foam 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl combine flour, remaining sugar, salt and cardamom.
- Add egg, oil and yeast mixture; knead until smooth and elastic.
- Cover and rise 1 hour until doubled.
- Punch down and roll on a floured board.
- Cut into squares or triangles to preferred size.
- Heat plenty of oil in a pot to medium — not smoking hot.
- Fry in batches, turning until golden brown and cooked through.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Serve with hot tea; best eaten the same day.
Tips
- Medium oil heat keeps mandazi soft inside — too hot burns outside.
- Cardamom adds coastal breakfast aroma.
- Do not cover mandazi right after frying or they go soggy.
