MANDAZI

Preparation time:   25 minutes

Cooking time:         15 minutes

Ingredients

2 cups self rising flour

1 tea spoon of cardamom

1 egg

½  a cup of milk

½  a cup of water

Vegetable oil for frying

1 and a ½ table spoon of margarine

¼  cup of sugar

Preparations

Put the flour in a bowl.

Add a ¼  cup of sugar.

Add the cardamon.

Mix all ingredients.

Break the egg in a different bowl.

Stir it for for few seconds, and then add it to the mixture.

Continue to mix it for a minute.

Pour the milk into the mixture, and mix it with your hands.

The dough needs to become easy to roll.

You may need to add a bit more water: it should take around 5 minutes.

Cut the dough into small fist size pieces with your hand.

Take a roller and make each piece flat.

Then - cut it with a knife into whatever shape you desire: circles, triangles?

Cooking

Heat a pan on a medium heat.

Add a cup of oil or more if the pan is big.

When the oil is hot, after around 3 minutes, throw the cut pieces in.

Let it fry for 3 to 5 minutes, until it becomes brownish.

Then - turn the pieces to the other side.

When both sides are brownish - take the pieces out.

Put them in a plate, so the oil can drip.

Serve it with fresh juice, soda or tea in the morning.

Serves 6.
