Nous avons remplacé l'oeuf par 30 g de fécule de maïs et assez de jus de citron pour que le mélange des deux soit liquide quand on ne le touche pas. Quand vous grattez le mélange avec une fourchette, c'est difficile de le bouger.

Mandazi

Preparation Time : Very long

Ingredients :

Flour : 500 g

Coconut milk : 120 mL

Lemon juice : ½ lemon

Corn starch : 40 g

Dehydrated baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) : 1 teaspoon

Sugar : 100 g

Warm water : 80 to 120 mL

Very soft margarine : 40 g

Cardamome, ginger and cinamon (ground) : 1 teaspoon

Chilli powder : ½ teaspoon

Oil to fry

Icing sugar to put on top

Preparation :

Step 1

An hour before beginning, put all the ingredients on the table.

Step 2

Mix the yeast in 4 tablespoons of warm water (around 33°C). Leave it alone for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Put the corn starch in a bowl and pour the lemon juice on it. Mix them together. The texture will be liquid when you don’t touch and strong when you do. If it’s not liquid, add some lemon juice.

Step 4

Add the coconut milk, margarine and sugar in the bowl and mix.

Step 5

In another bowl, mix the flour, chilli powder and other spices. Make a hole in the middle of the flour. Pour the yeast in it.

Step 6

Pour gently the other bowl in it while stiring continuously.

Step 7

Add the warm water slowly until you get a homogenous dough. It should be smooth and elastic.

Step 8

Knead the dough during 10 minutes on a flat area with flour on it.

Step 9

Put the dough in a big container (a pot or a bowl), cover it with a piece of fabric and leave it alone for 45 minutes in a place without wind.
