Mandazi is a lightly sweetened East African fried bread, traditionally shaped into triangular or diamond forms. This popular breakfast and snack item is made from a wheat flour-based dough enriched with coconut milk and often spiced with cardamom, giving it a distinctive flavor profile that sets it apart from other fried breads. The exterior is golden-brown and slightly crispy, while the interior remains soft and fluffy, making it a satisfying accompaniment to tea or coffee.
