Malawian Mandasi
written by James Colquhoun
Our main programme in Malawi is our Children’s Mobile Clinics, in essencea GP practice on wheels working in the villages far from the tarmac roads. It is a tough gig, the demand for our services is enormous and on our
busiest day we treated over 500 sick children.
For me the life-saver when energy levels started to dip is a delicious Mandasi fried doughnut or two. This recipe is from our Malawi Laboratory Technologist, Walinase.
Ingredients
2 cups of all-purpose flour
¼ cup of sugar
1½ teaspoons instant yeast
¼ teaspoon salt
Warm water
Mixing dish or bowl.
Large saucepan
Frying oil as needed
