1
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom, and salt until well combined.
2
In another bowl, whisk together coconut milk, egg, and melted butter.
3
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead lightly for 2-3 minutes.
4
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
5
Divide the dough into small portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten slightly and cut into triangles or desired shapes.

7
Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
Chef's Tips
- Dough Consistency: If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If too dry, add a splash of coconut milk.
- Flavor Variations: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth.
- Frying Tip: Maintain medium heat to ensure the mandazi cook evenly without burning.
- Serving Suggestion: Enjoy with chai or coffee for an authentic East African experience.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly before serving.
