 Easy recipe: Swahili Vitumbua

These fluffy little treats, with their subtle sweetness and fragrant hint of cardamom, are the perfect antidote to the cold.

What you will need:

1 heap cup of rice (soak overnight)

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup coconut powder

1 tablespoon yeast

1/3 cup water

12 teaspoons Ground cardamom

1 egg 

What to do:

Wash the soaked rice and place it in a blender along with all the other ingredients. Blend until smooth and a bit grainy, then let it rise.

Once puffed up, place a vitumbua frying pan on a medium heat stove and add some oil in each hole, then pour the mixture in each hole using a spoon or ice cream scoop.

Once one side is cooked, turn them over to the other side so they cook evenly. Repeat the process with the remaining mixture and serve as a snack with cardamom or masala tea. Enjoy!
