What are Mandazis?


Mandazi (Swahili: Mandazi, Maandazi), is a simple soft fried dough that originated on the Swahili Coast.

An East African delicacy, mandazi is a Kenyan treat that is made from a simple dough that is deep fried until puffy and light. It has a slightly sweet, sometimes spicy flavor that has made it popular as a breakfast or dessert dish and as a daytime snack. Mandazi often are made into small triangular or circular pieces that can be eaten in one or two bites.

It is best enjoyed with a lovely cuppa of Chai - Kenyan Tea
