MANDAZI (AFRICAN DONUTS)
These amazingly soft triangle-shaped donuts are very famous in East Africa where I come from. They are excellent with a cup of tea or coffee. The dash of cardamom adds an authentic taste which makes it different from regular donuts. You can serve it with either honey or jam. Could be also served with curry - that is how we like it...

Steps:
- Combine milk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, sugar, egg, instant yeast, salt, and cardamom in a large bowl. Mix in flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough comes together and is easily handled. Knead dough on a flat work surface until no longer sticky.
- Put dough back in the bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Press dough down gently. Knead it briefly and divide it into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a ball; keep covered with a cloth to prevent them from drying out.
- Roll 1 ball into a 1/3-inch-thick circle on a floured work surface. Cut into 4 triangles using a pizza cutter. Repeat with remaining balls of dough, keeping other dough covered.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan over medium heat. Fry dough triangles 3 or 4 at a time, without overcrowding, until puffed like balloons, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and continue frying until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes more. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining dough.

Steps:
- Warm the coconut milk in a pan for a few minutes over a low-medium heat until warm but not hot, then mix in the yeast and set aside for 5 mins. Tip the other ingredients (except the oil) into a large bowl, then add the warm coconut milk and yeast mixture.
- Knead the mixture in the bowl for 15 mins by hand, or 7-10 mins in a stand mixer until smooth. Cover the bowl and leave to rest in a warm place for 1 hr 30 mins until doubled in size.
- Divide the dough into six pieces. Knead each piece lightly on a floured work surface, shape into a smooth ball, then roll into flat circles about 1.5cm thick. Cut each ball into quarters to give you four triangles. Cover with a clean tea towel and leave to rise for 30 mins.
- Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium-high heat, ensuring it is no more than two-thirds full. When it reaches 180C, you're ready to cook. If you don't have a cooking thermometer, carefully drop in one triangle - it should rise to the top and puff up.
- Carefully drop the triangles into the oil, cooking in batches of three. Cook for 2-3 mins, then carefully turn them and cook for another 2-3 mins. If they turn dark brown very quickly, lower the heat. The mandazi should look like they're about to pop and have a white rim around the middle. Drain on kitchen paper and leave to cool a little before serving.

BEST MANDAZI
This is a Somali recipe from recipewikia.com. The spice is mentioned with the directions, because it is considered to be the most common spice for the area, although you can try something similar to cardomon if you like.

Steps:
- 1.All pastry ingredients should be allowed to come to room temperature if they have been in the refrigerator. If using yeast: mix the yeast with a few spoonfuls of the warm water.
- 2.In a mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, Sugar, and spice (cardamom is most common in Eastern Africa). Add the yeast. Mix the water, butter, milk, and egg together. Gradually add this mixture to the flour while kneading into dough. Knead until a smooth and elastic dough is formed-fifteen to twenty minutes. If using yeast: Place dough in a clean bowl, cover with a cloth, and allow to rise in a warm place for an hour or more. If using baking powder, let dough rest for several minutes.
- 3.Divide the dough into several hand-sized pieces. Roll or press the pieces into circles about one-half inch thick. Cut circles into halves or quarters (or whatever you like). Some cooks place the doughs on a cookie sheet and let them rise a second time.
- 4.Heat a few cups of vegetable oil to 300 degrees Farenheit in a skillet or deep pot. Fry the doughs in the hot oil, turning a few times, until they are golden brown all over. Fry only as many together as can float in the oil without touching one another. Place on paper towels to drain. Serve warm.
