Time 1h30m Yield 18 Number Of Ingredients 9 Steps:
Combine milk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, sugar, egg, instant yeast, salt, and cardamom in a large bowl. Mix in flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough comes together and is easily handled. Knead dough on a flat work surface until no longer sticky. Put dough back in the bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area until doubled, about 1 hour. Press dough down gently. Knead it briefly and divide it into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a ball; keep covered with a cloth to prevent them from drying out. Roll 1 ball into a 1/3-inch-thick circle on a floured work surface. Cut into 4 triangles using a pizza cutter. Repeat with remaining balls of dough, keeping other dough covered. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan over medium heat. Fry dough triangles 3 or 4 at a time, without overcrowding, until puffed like balloons, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and continue frying until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes more. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining dough.

Dive the dough into 4 portions. Roll out 1 portion of dough into a circle about ¼-inch (6 ml) thick. Cut into 8 triangles. Repeat with the remaining dough portions. Heat the oil in a large pot until it reaches 350˚F (180˚C). Working in batches, fry the mandazi for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Heat 1/2 inch of the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan, pot or Dutch oven fitted with a deep-fry thermometer over medium heat to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line a large plate or baking sheet with paper towels. Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cardamom, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the coconut milk and egg. Starting in the middle, use a rubber spatula to mix together, gradually incorporating the flour until a sticky dough forms. On a lightly floured work surface, knead the dough until smooth, adding a tablespoon of flour at a time as needed to keep your hands from sticking. Turn the dough out onto a clean lightly floured work surface. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle. Cut the mandazi into about two dozen 2-inch squares or rectangles. Working in batches, fry the mandazi, using a spider to turn so both sides cook evenly, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on the prepared plate. Dust on top a light blanket of confectioners’ sugar. Mandazi are best enjoyed warm.
