Mandazi recipe

Does anyone have a Zanzibari recipe? I have not been able to find one on the internet. 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. |

I'd guess that corn oil is probably used in Zanzibar. If your biscuits are lonely, let them meet cake. I`ve just had a look in a Lamu cookbook and see that, like the recipe in the Congo cookbook, an egg is included in the recipe. This is added with the milk. Also added in Lamu are a few saffron threads to colour and flavour. The saffron is infused with a little warm water and added during the rising process. As you say, corn or vegetable oil would be used in the deep frying. I`ve eaten Mandazi or Mahamri as they are called on the Coast, in both Nairobi and Malindi. I couldn`t eat them now and ruin my low calorie diet!! They are nice though! Interesting feedback. Pat Are you a Mbwa Kali I wonder? -- Pat Anderson |

You see large signs on big houses warning you of Mbwa Kali or Fierce Dog. Kali can also be used with a "Pili Pili" meal. You will probably find Chicken or Prawn Pili Pili in the African Cookbook.

You will probably find Chicken or Prawn Pili Pili in the African Cookbook. I've got "abrasive, lurid, sharp, hot" for "kali", some of which might describe me (again, I'm sure I shouldn't really comment!) and many dogs out in the African sun. Much context based confusion seems to arise from translating!! I'm rather tempted to put up an "Abrasive Dog" warning on the garden gate now... -- Eupe mbwa. Kufa kikondoo, ndiko kufa kiungwana. |
