In reply to African Kaya. Great! I have tried using both oil and margarine and both produce the same results in texture for me. So it's your choice what you use. I prefer oil as it's a non-hydrogenated fat. Enjoy!

In reply to rondi. Actually we use margarine for mandazi. I am yet to see anyone using oil in mandazi. 1st time I'm even hearing of it

I am thrilled to have found this, not only for your lovely Mandazi recipe but because I am wondering now…. if the "gunga peas" are the legume that I remember from maybe 30 years ago, a quite backroom kind of cafe in Mombassa, and this glorious dish of coconut means served with a flat bread, and I've always wondered how I could reproduce that dish. Hmmmm….

These look great! I've spent a lot of time in Kenya and Tanzania… and I am married to a Kenyan… To whom I show your photos and yeah we are going to make them. Just a note though, that for the typical person butter is not used in mandazi, typically it is vegtable oil.

Thanks for the post!

Jambo Nupur!!! The mandazi looks awesome!! It’s quite some time since I had them. After seeing your madazis I can’t wait to get into the kitchen and start making them 🙂
