Andazi

Cultural Context

Andazi, also known as Swahili donuts, hails from the coastal regions of East Africa, particularly Kenya and Tanzania. Traditionally enjoyed as a snack or dessert, these fluffy, sweet treats are often flavored with spices like cardamom and nutmeg, reflecting the rich culinary heritage of the Swahili coast. Today, Andazi is popular across East Africa and has found its way into global cuisine, beloved for its delightful texture and sweet, aromatic flavors.
