CARDAMOM SPICED MANDAZI

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.

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! 

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.

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?

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😋😋

CARDAMON MANDAZI

Don't you just love a freshly made breakfast in the morning? Today I'm going to share with you a Kenyan snack recipe that is great for breakfast and any time of day. Mandazi is made by frying kneaded dough briefly in hot cooking oil. Mandazi is also known as Swahili Bun or Swahili Coconut Doughnut that originated from the Coastal region where the Swahili are the local inhabitants. Mandazi is very popular since it is convenient to make and can be interpreted in many forms while cooking. The original Mandazi is made with Coconut Milk or Coconut Cream, Cardamon Spice and Yeast, but you can make with Milk or Water, when it comes to spice you can add Cinnamon or any other Spice you prefer. As for the Yeast you can use Baking Powder instead.This Snack can be eaten with most foods like Dips, Beans (Mbaazi, the most common for this recipe), Milk Tea or Black Tea or you can have it on its own. You can even make the Mandazi with Almond nuts or Peanuts to give it a different flavour. You can either use Eggs or skip it, mine I made without and it turned out great. This is just one variation of the many recipes available for Mandazi, I will be making more in the near future as I want to try out the different flavours.
