Weekend:making mandazi

It is just wheat flour deep fried and no filling? We do the same in Italy, it's called gnocco fritto.

It looks very yum..does it contain any kind of filling?

Looks like samosa.

Mandazi has a filling inside?

Looks delicious! What filling is it? Have a great reunion time!!

Seen of main ingredients and how to fried, look like a donut recipe. And because it's similar for me, I often give the topping of chocolate granules or powdered sugar which is simpler. Well, but that is Mandazi. Still looks yummy...

They kind of look like samosas or pakoras.

looks delicious..what's the filling in this?

Good I am going to make some taco stuff

I like to dine in Indian Resto, the foods are so yummy. We have one in the city near home, but they're closed now due to pandemic

Looks delicious! Enjoy the time with your sister.

this one is delicious.

Enjoy your visit!

They look yummy and crispy

I'm very interested in all the responses from people in the Philippines, Indonesia and Italy about the slightly different varieties of the same thing which amounts to small deep-fried pieces of bread dough. They all sound very tempting and I'd love to try them. In England we don't deep fry many things at home. We tend to leave that to restaurants and take-aways who have the ability and the equipment to have large pans of hot fat or oil. The nearest equivalent to mandazi that we have here would be doughnuts which are tennis ball sized lumps of sweet yeast dough deep fried until done and then coated with sugar and then filled (with a syringe) with jam or chocolate. Very delicious! I would like to try mandazi - they sound rather like mini doughnuts, only easier to make.
