Finally found this!! I have been craving this for so long. A taste of home. I think I looked at a puff puff recepie months and months ago but forgot about it. But nice!

[@Clintz13]

every time I miss home cooking I come back to your page, I've been thinking about these for two weeks 😬😅😆😆

[@zambiakid]

One of the foods of my childhood. Thanks for the video. I'm going to get my kids into making these

[@banjisimasiku6351]

Tried this recipe and it worked so well (first time at least 😅), and still practicing. Only critic I have is that the sugar is way too much. I'd suggest about 2 tablespoons (1 for each cup of flour).

[@shinemuziya]

It all depends on how sweet you like them.

[@freshangel1]

Your comment helped a lot

[@lizzymwamba7546]

I MADE THIS AND YOUR METHOD WORKED WELL THANK YOU

We call these mandasi in Malawi. Vitumbuwas are a completely different thing to us😂 we use bananas to make vitumbuwas

[@agnessflorahkajadu7492]

Ndipo that's true but when I came to Zambia I noted they call it vitumbia

Yeast nayo..how do you prepare it? Re-record. We watch and we love it..just make it impeccable and clear so we can make vitimbuwas so far away from home. I searched for this recope.. please redo it. And inbox me..napapata.

[@mirandamukosha6000]

Thank you so much. I tried this recipe. It worked very well. No more waiting on ppl to make it for me lol

[@freshangel1]

I noticed many comments required measurements What worked for me: What worked for me 2 cup Flour 2 tbsp Yeast or 10 g Pinch Salt 4 tbsp Sugar 1 egg 1 big cup / measuring jug warm Water Optional Milk Essence * swap milk for water * Add a little Essence for taste 1stp of sugar in one cup of warm water (can make it warm milk or milk with water) add 2 tbsp yeast set assist for 3-5min Mix all dry ingredients add egg to yeast mixture Add wet to dry ingredients and knead (can add essence Cover and set aside for 2hrs Ready for frying Fry in deep oil medium to low heat is better for it to cook well & don’t make the dough too pourus a little thick will do

[@kashiyamwape943]

Hi natty, Do you still need to activate the yeast when you are using instant yeast ?

[@mesolehelen6088]

Instant yeast no you don't. Just pour it into d flour

[@wangieb2155]

I struggled with the amounts,how many spoons of yeast to flour ☹

[@lungowekaingu]

What happens is I use milk instead of water ?

[@nihadashraf7722]

Mine dont have so much 'meat' inside. What could be the problem. And they arent spongy. Usually stiff

[@faithkabwe8768]

Is it okay if you add milk?

[@vbchawda]

[@lindakazetu2164]

[@nzalabanda454]

[@xabelngandwe9000]

What's the measurements again please, oh ok I scrolled down and got it👍🏾

[@lydiaroberts3353]

I wanted to try your recipe but you didn’t say which flour,measurements.

[@cookingwithnatty1310]

In the description box

[@memorygeorge3105]

What makes mine not to cook inside but getting burnt outside...and they are not so soft after that...how much east do I need

[@nihadashraf7722]

Maybe the heat. If oil is too hot they will get brown fast outside but still uncooked inside

[@priscilerehemasongolo7233]

OK

[@richardlungu3718]

Even though I'm not that patient to wait for 2 hours ... Vitumbuwa kwatu ni immediately the dough is ready unless u are baking bans

[@antonnettemofya9748]

😋😋😋😋🇿🇲

[@innocentiakaumba3402]

[@cookingwithnatty1310]

In the description box

[@legendarycreationszambia3030]

[@roydschannel4562]

Dry incrediants are what and what natty?😇

[@marthamwila7008]

Measurements of ingredients please

[@therealqueen.]

Pleas what can replace the yeast

[@cookingwithnatty1310]

🙋‍♀️ thanks for watching, you can use baking powder but it will be a whole new recipe. The baking powder recipe is on my Instagram

[@therealqueen.]

@@cookingwithnatty1310 thanks is it the same name on Instagram?

[@namonjesworld9617]

Baking powder

[@annamweenemalawo3952]

Very good recipes and easy to follow but next time remember measurements 👌🏾👌🏾

[@NkhomaD]

No measurements no go. I love Vitumbuwa but I just didn't know where to start without measurements.

[@user-uk7iw7jz9w]

I need measurements for making a lot

[@lizzyphiri6069]

Please share the Measurements

[@yandenankamba8041]

Exact measurements please

[@vbchawda]

Which flour???

[@nihadashraf7722]

Normal white flour coz we add yeast. If u use baking flour which already is mixed with baking powder then reduce the amount of yeast

[@mutintasiamwannza3603]

We need measurements

[@eledybanda94]

Kindly asking for measurements

[@deeh8461]

Wait so no kneading needed

[@cookingwithnatty1310]

Nope

[@moniqb7373]

1and 1/2 a cup sugar seems a bit too much. I put 1 cup, still too sweet.

[@zambiakid]

Just adjust the sugar to suit. Some like it sweet, some don't.

[@emeldahwaliywa2725]

Measurements

[@liselinambota5979]

Am I the only one who missed the measurements or they are just not there... Apart from 1 cup of warm water and tablespoon of sugar... how much flour, how much sugar, how much salt, water... Thanks though.

[@saugatgautam9971]

Why does mine soak oil

[@cookingwithnatty1310]

Oil is not hot enough

[@saugatgautam9971]

But then it won’t be cooked and turns brown quickly

[@jacobusopperman3797]

This is traditional vetkoek ,a boor dish.

[@joe_lubinda]

[@michelle_m]

[@cookingwithnatty1310]

In the description box

[@larrisamwela4304]

There are no measurements

[@zippykamande600]

We don't call them mandazis we call them Kaimatis

[@cookingwithnatty1310]

zippy kamande thanks for the correction, where are you from?

[@lmfula]

Whatever you call them some call them what they like. VITUMBUWA

[@zahramunir8596]

Maandazi ya maji...

[@liyazulu3529]

zippy kamande mandazi is different I think it’s equivalent to Zambian Madondoif you’ve ever had .. since they are abit boxy and more firm than a chitumbuwa

[@youcannotspeaktomeanyhow]

I call those fatcooks along eith everyone in Zim. Puff puff is cuter though

[@dodihoza7859]

I prefer rice cakes

[@shellychoobe1216]

Improve your reciepe by ellaborting measurements of each Ingridients

[@lillylilly8369]
