Preparation:
Mandazi is an African recipe which looks pretty similar to that of Indian Puri or Kachori (a kind of stuffed bread).
The method of Mandazi preparation is as follows -
1. Sift the flour with cardamom powder, baking powder or yeast and sugar. Place in a mixing bowl. While adding the milk slowly first then add the beaten egg, knead the flour into a pliable dough.
2. Roll the dough and make small round shaped pieces each of roughly 2½” diameter. Brush the round balls with oil, roll out each ball with a rolling pin using dry flour as required to prevent it from sticking (flatten it on a floured board).
3. Heat the oil in an oak and deep fry Mandazi one-by-one slowly in oil keeping the oven at medium heat till golden brown and crispy. Most important while frying oil should not be heated too much.
Mandazi is ready.
