African and Russian recipes?
Hello. I am looking for any African or Russian recipes that anybody might have. I am not a gold member yet so you will have to email me. Any recipes you can give me will be much appreciated. You can write me in English Spanish or French.
Thank you!

Here is a yummy treat, East African fried dough:

Banana Mandazi
Serves 4
1 egg
2 ripe bananas, coarsely chopped
2/3 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups self-rising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3-4 tablespoons sugar
vegetable or canola oil, for deep frying

Place the egg, bananas, milk, vanilla extract, flour, baking powder and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat to make a smooth batter. If it's too thick just add a little extra milk. It should have a creamy pourable consistency. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan or deep-fat fryer. When hot, carefully place spoonfuls of the mixtures in the oil and fry for 2-4 minutes until golden-brownish. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Cover and keep warm while cooking the remaining mandazis. Sprinkle with a little sugar and enjoy. :]

I tried this from a world recipe book that's been laying around my house and it's quite good! It is simple to make and the ingredients are easy to find. There are also many variations.
