About Mandazi
Mandazi, a popular East African snack, is a type of fried bread with a subtly sweet taste and fluffy texture. Often compared to donuts but less sugary, mandazi is made from simple ingredients such as all-purpose flour, sugar, yeast or baking powder, coconut milk, and a hint of cardamom or cinnamon for flavor. Originating in Swahili cuisine, Mandazi is commonly enjoyed as a breakfast treat or snack and pairs well with tea or coffee. While its use of coconut milk adds a layer of richness, mandazi is typically deep-fried, which can increase its fat and calorie content. Moderation is key, as it provides carbohydrates for energy but can be low in essential nutrients. For a healthier twist, some recipes substitute wheat flour or bake the mandazi instead of frying. It remains a cherished delicacy in East African households and beyond.
