Mkate Sania

Posted on November 24, 2008 1:29 PM

Wash and soak rice overnight.
Pour out the water the following morning.
Grind the rice together with coconut milk in a blender. Make sure that you do not make the rice too fine.
During the grinding process add elaichi, sugar and yeast.
Pour in a sufuria and keep aside for a while until it rises.
In another sufuria, heat oil/ghee, pour the mixture into it, and cover with lid.
Place this sufuria on a jiko which has very little charcoal and put some fired charcoal on the lid.
Cook like cake until it has turned golden brown. You will have to check this from time to time by inserting a wooden skewer to see if it has cooked.
Alternatively, the mixture can be cooked in a Pizza Maker. However, the taste would not be the same as cooked on a jiko. You may also bake the mixture in an oven at 100°C.
Remove the Mkate Sania from the sufuria when it is completely cold.
