Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 2 tsp yeast
  • ½ cup lukewarm water
  • ¾ cup heavy coconut milk
  • 3½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup coconut powder
  • 1 tsp cardamom powder
  • sugar
Mix the yeast and sugar with some lukewarm water in a bowl; set aside.
What mandazi is
In a medium bowl whisk the coconut milk and one large egg; set aside.
  • 1 whole large egg
  • sugar
  • salt
In a large bowl combine the all-purpose flour, coconut powder, cardamom powder or nutmeg, sugar and a pinch of salt.
A step whose subject is garbled 'will prevent the dough from sticking to the bowl'.
The dry ingredients
Cover with plastic wrap and leave in a warm place to rise 45 minutes to 1 hour; punch down the dough.
Turn out onto a floured surface, divide into about 6 to 8 hand-sized pieces and roll each into a circle.
Fry without overcrowding so they have room to rise; once the top is well rounded, about 45 seconds, flip, and keep flipping until golden brown.
Drain on a paper towel.
