Mandazi are deep-fried, spiced doughnut-like treats that are an East African delicacy. These fluffy and fragrant bites are great for snacking, but be forewarned, it's virtually impossible to eat just one! Our mandazi recipe is made with simple pantry staples like flour, sugar, baking powder, and coconut milk. They are triangle-shaped and flavored with a dash of cardamom, which infuses a unique taste, setting them apart from American doughnuts. Mandazi are best served with a cup of hot Kenyan coffee or chai and are perfect for breakfast. Serve them with honey or jam for a sweet treat, or enjoy them with curry.
