Vitumbua is a gluten free East African breakfast pancakes which is well known in most part of African countries. Though their name varies like Masa in Western African countries like Nigeria and Cameroon. This dish is eaten happily in Swahili countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar,Uganda,Zambia Rwanda, Somalia, Burundi,Malawi and Mozambique. However you can even find this same Vitumbua in few Asian countries like India, Indonesia etc. Not only you can enjoy these gluten free Vitumbua for your breakfast, you can enjoy even for your evening snacks with some home made sauce or else simply with honey. Though this dish calls for spices like cardamom, nutmeg and almond extract, traditionally this dish is flavored with cardamoms. East African peoples enjoy this ultimate cuties with a cup of chai to finish their breakfast or snacks. Am running a month of blogging marathon with 4 themes for 4 weeks. For the first week, i picked International breakfast dishes. After posting 4 different breakfast dishes from different part of the world, now am taking you all to East Africa. Vitumbua will definitely please anyone at home as this dish calls for coconut and cardamom. We enjoyed thoroughly these cuties simply with some honey, but trust me the original recipe which inspired me to prepare this dish served Vitumbua with a homemade caramel sauce. Though i want to give a try to the caramel sauce, i opted for honey just to keep myself away from munching of these cuties. Trust me this Tanzanian doughnuts are seriously very dangerously addictive with a wonderful subtle coconut and cardamom aroma. If you want to give serve a different and a new breakfast to your family dont forget to this fantastic dish. Recipe Source: Here 2cups Basmati rice 1tsp Instant yeast 1cup Coconut milk (lukewarm) 3tbsp Grated coconut Salt 1cup Sugar 1/2tsp Cardamom powder Soak the rice in enough water and keep aside for overnite. Next day, drain the water and take in a blender together with coconut milk, flakes, spices, sugar, salt and yeast. Blend until the mixture turns smooth. Pour in a large bowl, cover and let it rise in a warm area until doubled in size or else when you see the bubbles on the top of the butter. Heat a appe pan/appam pan, or fry pan on medium heat, drop enough oil or brush the holes with oil. Once the pan gets warm enough, pour a tablespoon of batter to fill 3/4th of the hole. Cook for about 2 -3 minutes on each side, then quickly flip using a bamboo stick. Continue cooking on the other side and repeat this process until the batter gets finished. Let it cool slightly. Serve with honey or sauce of your choice. Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM# 87 An InLinkz Link-up
