Mandazi recipe

I had Mandazis in Zanzibar which I have not been able to replicate. It
was more like a deep-fried bread roll than a doughnut (texture was
meatier than a doughnut). Does anyone have a Zanzibari recipe? I have
not been able to find one on the internet.

Hey,

I remember talking to you previously about your trip to the serengeti.
You were wanting to catch the migration. Did you get to see the migration?

We were very luck and caught a group of 200 widebeast crossing the
Grumeti. Unfortunately the close by crocs weren't interested in a meal
at that point! :-(

Cheers

Dave B

Yes, the migration had moved out of the plains and were in the bushland
about.... 10-30 km due west of Seronera (don't have a map to name the
river)

Grumeti. Unfortunately the close by crocs weren't interested in a meal

The grumeti camp trucks were coming over to the Seronera when we were
there so maybe things weren't too interesting there!

Hakuna matata!
Go to: http://www.congocookbook.com
Just type mandazi into search box and hey presto you will find the
recipe and method there. The Congo cookbook is a mine of information
from all over Africa. Those Mandazis are fattening though!
Let me know what you think!

I doubt you would ever get them like the Zanzibaris or other East
African cooks!
What did you think of the site, I think it`s great- apart from the
recipes there is so much other interesting information?

Here's one from a cookbook we bought in Zan.
2 cups plain flour
5 tbsps sugar
1 cup cocnut milk
1 tsp coarsly ground cardamom
1 sachet yeast
oil for frying

Mix all ingredients with coconut milk and bind into a dough. Leave in
a warm place for 4-5 hours to rise. knead dough well and roll out to
1/2" thick, cut into triangles or required shapes and leave for
further 15 minutes. Deep fry in hot oil on medium heat to a deep tan
colour then drain on kitchen paper.

The trick may be experimenting with yeast and/or standing time, also
the type of oil will affect the flavour. I'd guess that corn oil is
probably used in Zanzibar.


If your biscuits are lonely, let them meet cake.
