You guys got fancy recipes to share?African meaning Kenya,Uganda,South Africa etc,etc.

A friend of mine,Nigerian, gave me this recipe.Well,I changed a thing or two but I will post it the way she taught me.

PUFF PUFF

Makes 40-60 balls.

2 cups (or about ½ liter) flour
2 cups (or about ½ liter) water
½ cup (or about an eighth of a liter) sugar
2 teaspoons yeast
Some vegetable oil

1. Mix the flour, sugar, water, and yeast together until the batter is smooth.
2. Wait until the dough has risen. About 2½ hours or so should do.
3. Put vegetable oil into a pot, until it is at least 2 inches (or about 5 centimeters) high (too little will result in flatter balls), and place on low heat.
4. Test to make sure the oil is hot enough by putting a 'drop' of batter into the oil. If it is not hot enough, the batter will stay at the bottom of the pot rather than rising to the top.
5. When the oil is hot enough, use a spoon to dish up the batter, and another spoon or spatula to drop it in the oil, sort of in the shape of a ball.
6. Fry for a few minutes until the bottom side is golden brown.
7. Turn the ball over and fry for a few more minutes until the other side is golden brown.
8. Use a large spoon or something like that to take it out of the oil. Or place them on napkins right away to soak up some of the excess oil.
9. If desired, you can roll the finished product in table sugar or powdered sugar to make it sweeter.

Now my twist.It tastes much much better if you use I 1/2 cups of milk and 1/2 a cup of water.Add one egg too.Just one.Make it with a twist and be warned.You could kill yourself eating this.My family calls it Mandazi.Only tastier they say.

Wa Kihia,
I have heard that eating insects has many advantages. I do not know them. I wish wakarima was around to tell us more about this

Yes I am one of them too. Robsinson Githae I have bile for this man like you cant beleive it......I feel really bad by what he said....I wish he told us...."my mother used to cook for us rats; frogs and donkeys...n see...am still alive and a full minister now." Then it would not have been insulting to kenyans...or he would have told us in his house they eat such beetles snakes and the likes....but telling us to eat and he himself is not eating.....

Mutinyitirire na nigutha mundu rumwe rwa mwaki!!!

Thanks Wakanyugi,
I even forgot his name, but I remember the guy telling us to eat rats, donkeys etc. Githae Robinson. Maybe he got his degree in Thailand or China

But seriously, what is so different betwen those worms and omena?

YUMMY! Mouth watering!
After eating grasshoppers and white ants, I'll say; can't wait to have a mouthful of these little guys.

Maria,
If I ever come to visit your family, you will make me pay closer attention to the food you offer . What if those grubs are part of the relish?
