I'm obsessed with Mandazi; hopeless in love with them. I get so excited whenever it is on the menu and it's not very often, for obvious reasons. Mandazi is also known as Swahili Bun, Dahir Adani, Swahili coconut doughnut, mahamri/mamri (when made with coconut milk). Mandazi is a form of fried bread that originated on the Swahili coast, and one of the principal dishes in the cuisine of the Swahili people who inhabit the African Great Lakes.
Mandazi with some twist #4weekschallenge #wheatflourchallenge instructions
- In a large bowl, add the hot water and mix in the sugar (till dissolved) and the nutmeg..
- Mix the flour and the lemon zest, then add these to the wet ingredients, followed by the sour milk and knead the dough..
- Create a bore(Kashimo😀😀) in the dough and add the butter. Knead the dough until it no longer sticks to your hands or the bowl. Around 10minus or so.
- Allow it to rest for about 30 minutes so that it elasticates and the gluten completely activates..
- Roll out the dough about 1/4 inch thick and with a knife (or cookie cutter or a round cup), shape your maandazi..
- Heat your oil and fry the maandazi until they are golden brown on each side. This will take about a minute or two. Make sure your oil is not too cold because if it is, they will absord too much of the oil and become very disgustingly soggy..
- Enjoy with a hot cup of tea or coffee.
It is a dish that can be served as a breakfast with tea, appetizer before lunch, or even a sof… I love Mandazi (that is the Kiswahili word for the donuts and what they are called in the East African countries that they originate from). Sorry but these countries are not francophone but are English speaking. Just had to make that correction. Thanks Jo for sharing the delicious recipe.
