So happy I stumbled upon your channel. My best friend in high school was from Kenya. Her family would throw these big parties where everyone brought a traditional dish. I can't recall trying anything I didn't absolutely love. These mandazis with some milk tea were always my favorite snack when I would sleep over. SO grateful for her friendship, and her family for welcoming me into their home and giving me a taste of their culture. Thank you so much for sharing, much love.

Quick one to say that I will be trying these out today after I get some yeast. I made your chocolate cake and it was a HUGE HIT!! Asante for your recipes. You are the kind of cook I like. Quick, short and easy steps and the fact that most times I have all the ingredients in my house. I keep coming back to your channel. Asante sana dada.

Just made Mandazi following your instructions to a T. Turned out awesome! Thanks a lot. Had tried different recipes 3 or 4 times,before, and it was hit and miss kind of thing. But I think that had mostly to do with old instant yeast. Bought fresh yeast as well as baking powder, and the Mandazis turned out amazing, using your instructions. this will be my final recipe....no need to try any others. again....Ahsante Sana. You made my day.
