Mandazi (also spelled as maandazi or maandaazi, called mahamri or mamri when made with coconut milk)[1][2] is a form of fried bread that originated in Eastern Africa in the Swahili coastal areas of Kenya and Tanzania.[3] It is still popular in the region, as it is convenient to make, can be eaten with almost any food or dips or just as a snack by itself, and can be saved and reheated for later consumption.[4][5]

When coconut milk is added, Mandazi is commonly referred to as mahamri or mamri.[1] Ground peanuts and almonds, among other ingredients, can also be used to add a different flavor.[2] After being cooked, they can be eaten warm or left to cool down. Mandazi is popular, as it can be eaten in accompaniment with many things. Mandazi is commonly made in the morning or the night before, eaten with breakfast, then re-heated in the evening for dinner.[4] Mandazi are also commonly eaten with tea, or are eaten as snacks by themselves. Different dips, often fruit flavored, can be used to add various tastes.[6] Mandazi can also be eaten as a dessert after a meal where it is often served with powdered or cinnamon sugar to add sweetness.[5]
