Mandazis are Kenyan local dishes which are perfect for breakfast accompanied by a cup of tea. They can also be taken with other food like beef stew.

A snack enjoyed by many homes in East Africa. Balanced meal and simple in preparation. An inspiration from the Swahili culture

These sweet tasting ‘beignets’ are a very common Swahili dish flavoured with sweet fennel and cardamom seeds.#mycookbook

Critic's Disclaimer: The title of this recipe is based on the opinion of a 6 yr old whose basis for comparison is the hush puppies from his favorite fish restaurant in our area. It's development was out of necessity when I was frying up catfish and realized I didn't have any cornmeal for making the hush puppies. Also, admittedly, I eye balled all my measurements as I normally do, but this is roughly what each measurement would be.

I have made always with white sugar sweet bites but this time I was so careful and added just some brown sugar and choco powder. #mommasrecipes #madethis

This is one of the traditional snacks that people eat at carnivals in Italy. I reduced the amount of ingredients in the original recipe, since that version (the recipe my Italian mamma gave me) made way too many for me to finish! I also added some milk to the original recipe, to make the dough easier to handle.The key is the oil temperature.If the oil is too hot, the insides of the donuts will be undercooked. If it is too cool, the donuts will absorb the oil, and become too dense.Recipe by leopardina.
