When it comes to Mandazi, I love them fluffy and soft and, I love having them warm with marsala tea. Adding cardamom spice to your mandazi makes them so delicious since cardamom is fragrant with a touch of earthiness.

Kenyan Lemon Mandazi
First of all, let us talk about the aroma of these lemon mandazi! Citrus fruits have natural aromas that get you excited, and I love me some lemon, in bread, cakes, salad, pancake or crepes, drinks and even chicken! Mandazis are best eaten warm with your favorite drink like tea, coffee, juice or even yoghurt. When it comes to mandazi, I love them hollow at times while other times I love them with a little bit of flesh, especially if I am craving Mandazi. Family loved the orange Mandazi but these were a constant hit, with no left overs to hide away!

Kenyan Mini Cinnamon Mandazi
Happy Sunday! I always look foward to Sunday mornings because I get inspired to make delicious breakfast without having to worry about time. Lately I'm having mandazi cravings, after that yummy orange mandazi, I still want more. Every body loved that orange flavour in mandazi plus the vibrant color. Today I wanted to add spices to get that warm sweet spiciness. Have you ever tried those recipes that are usually at the back of food packets? I always see them and just brush off, but today I decided hmmmm, what's the worse that could happen? Nothing went wrong, in fact these mandazi were delicious that my sisters were eating them before I finished cooking them. So this recipe has been inspired by the back of my mandazi flour packet with every detail followed. Have you ever tried a recipe from a food packet?

Kenyan Orange Zest Mandazi
Last week of February guys, how has time flown so fast? I had fun this month and I must say it's so far the best February ever! It has been a while since I cooked Mandazi so today I'm bringing you Orange flavored Mandazi. Oranges have such a citrusy flavor that brings vibrant and sort of tropical aroma. I used yeast for these Mandazi because it makes them light yet soft, plus I just love the smell of yeast fermenting in the dough! I made lemon zest mandazi that were to die for! So it was only fair that another citrus fruit made it into my mandazi! Another thing I used was mandazi flour instead of the regular all purpose flour. I've never used Mandazi Flour before and I must say it is perfect for Mandazi. You will definitely enjoy these delicious orange zest mandazi that will become your favorite😋😋

Simple Mandazi Recipe with Nutmeg and Spices
Indulge in Nutmeg Mixed Spice Mandazi, crispy, golden, and infused with warm nutmeg and aromatic spices. These East African fried dough treats are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or tea time Today feels very much like a weekend. There is an undeniable calm in the air. A kind of quietness makes it easy to lose track of the actual day of the week. I have been sensing this energy since I woke up this morning. I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this same feeling. Perhaps it has something to do with the lingering national election atmosphere. Even though the ballots have already been cast, the results have begun to settle into the national consciousness. It is as if everyone remains suspended in a state of pause. Conversations are slower, routines feel lighter, and the usual urgency that defines weekdays seems to have taken a break.
