When I was 14, I went to a boarding school 200km from home. My mom used to prepare mini-bites for me, and now I make them for my kids. It's a joy to see them share with their friends. You should try making them too!

The Mandazi turned out to be a hit among my family and friends. They were tasty and went well when paired with tea or coffee.
