Ingredients for mandazi
3 cups + 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. yeast
8 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. ground cardamom powder
³/₄ cup heavy coconut milk
¹/₄ cup light coconut milk
Pinch of salt
Oil for deep frying
Mandazi Recipe Method:
Warm heavy and light coconut milk in a saucepan and add yeast and sugar. Mix and let sit for 5-8 minutes until the yeast froths up. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cardamom powder, and a pinch of salt. Pour the coconut milk mixture into the flour and knead it into a dough for 10-15 minutes. Place in a bowl, cover with cling film, and set aside to rise for 1 hour.
Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal parts. Form each part into the shape of a ball and roll out into a circle about ¹/₄ inch thick. Using a knife form a cut in the center vertically and 1 horizontally so that you have 4 triangles. You should have a total of 16 triangles from all the dough. Cover with cling film or a cloth and let rise for 30-35 minutes. Deep fry making sure to keep splashing the hot oil on the top of the mandazi so that it puffs up. Fry for 30-45 seconds on each side or until golden brown making sure the oil is not too hot or too cold as this can cause the mandazi to crack. Enjoy with a cup of tea for breakfast or mandazi for lunch or dinner.
