👨‍🍳 조리법

1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 0.5 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, cardamom, and salt for the dough.
2
Gradually add the coconut milk and 0.25 cup vegetable oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
3
In a separate small bowl, combine the shredded coconut, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the filling. Mix well.
4
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a small disc. Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of each disc.
5
Carefully fold the dough over the filling, sealing the edges tightly to form a pocket. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent the filling from leaking out during frying.
6
Heat 4 cups of vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
7
Gently place the filled mandazi into the hot oil, a few at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
8
Remove the mandazi from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
