Mandazi

Common card · No. 200065

Mandazi (Swahili: mandazi, maandazi) is a form of fried bread that originated on the Swahili coast of East Africa. It is also known as bofrot or puff-puff in Western African countries such as Ghana and Nigeria. It is one of the principal dishes in the cuisine of the Swahili people who inhabit the coastal region of Kenya and Tanzania. The dish is popular in the region, as it is convenient to make, can be eaten with almost any food or dips or as a snack by itself, and can be saved and reheated for later consumption. In Somali cuisine, the pastry is referred to as bur (literally translating to "flour" or "dough") and is a staple during the Iftar meal in Ramadan, often served alongside Samosas.
