Mandazi RecipeOrigin: East Africa Period: Traditional |
|
Mandazi (also known as Maandazi, Mahamri or Mamri) are East African fried breads popular to Swahili areas of Kenya and Tanzania where they are typically consumed with tea or coffee at breakfast time. Ingredients:
480ml warm water 
Mandazi Preparation:Method:If using yeast mix with 1 tbsp warm water. Meanwhile combine the flour, baking powder (if using), sugar and spice together and add the yeast. In a separate bowl add the water, butter, milk and egg together. Gradually add this mixture to the flour mix while mixing continually. Knead until a smooth and elastic dough is formed (about 20 minutes). If using yeast place the dough in a clean, greased, bowl and cover with a cloth. Allow to raise in a warm place for at least an hour until doubled in size. (if using baking powder simply allow the dough to rest for a few minutes.) When ready divide the dough into several hand-sized pieces. Press the pieces into circles about 1.5cm thick then cut into halves or quarters. If using yeast place on a baking tray, cover and allow to rise a second time. In a deep-sided frying pan heat about 500ml of vegetable oil. Test with a spare piece of dough. This should sizzle when placed in the oil if the oil is hot enough. Fry the dough pieces in the hot oil, turning a few times, until they are golden brown all over. Place on kitchen paper to drain then fry the next batch. Serve warm with tea or coffee. |
