Introduce yourself and the dish.

Explain that Zalabiya is a traditional South Sudanese dessert, often served at parties and with tea.

Mention that it is simple and easy to make.

List the ingredients: 1 kilo flour, 1 tablespoon camira (yeast), a little bit of salt, and warm water.

Mix the flour, camira, salt, and warm water together by hand.

Knead the dough until well combined, ensuring it doesn't stick to your hands by using a bit of oil.

Cover the dough and let it sit for 1 hour to allow it to rise.

Heat oil in a pan until very hot for frying the donuts.

Fry the dough until golden brown, ensuring the oil is hot enough to prevent the donuts from absorbing too much oil.
