Also referred to as ‘African doughnuts’ or ‘beignets’, these soft and fluffy jewels are famous in the Eastern region of Africa (Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda). With a lovely hint of cardamom, this recipe will give your mandazis an authentic taste.  They are usually served warm with a cup of hot chai masala or regular tea, but they also go down a treat with hot coffee.

Mandazis are authentically served plain, but as the world becomes a small village daily, some have come up with ways to jazz them up. You can choose to jazz yours up with your favourite jam or a knob of butter.
