About Mikate
Mikate, also known as Congolese puff-puffs, are deep-fried dough balls popular in Central and West African cuisine, particularly in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Made from a simple mixture of flour, sugar, yeast, water, and sometimes milk, Mikate offer a soft and airy texture with a golden, crispy exterior. They are often enjoyed as a snack, dessert, or breakfast item, occasionally paired with honey, powdered sugar, or a fruit preserve. While Mikate are a delightful treat, their deep-frying process results in a higher calorie and fat content, which may not be ideal for those seeking heart-healthy options. However, they provide energy from carbohydrates and some protein, depending on the additional ingredients. Moderation is key to enjoying Mikate while maintaining a balanced diet.
