Mandazi and Chai is the ultimate breakfast in many Kenyan homes. Growing up in Kenya , it was very common to dunk a warm Mandazi, made fresh from the local bakery, in a hot cup of Chai (tea). My memories of Chai and Mandazi take me all the way back to my grandmother's kitchen during our school breaks. Mandazi is a nice way to introduce you to the joys of East African street food, a spicy, airy yeast doughnut dough made with coconut milk, flavored with cardamom and grated fresh coconut or coconut flakes.
