Mofo – Madagascar
In Malagasy, ‘mofo’ simply means ‘bread’ in English, but the word has come to encompass a wide variety of fried bread from Madagascar that can serve as a light breakfast or snack. All mofo is cooked in a circular mold over a charcoal fire, but the names vary depending on what batter is used. Mofo gasy simply means ‘Malagasy bread’, and is made with rice flour, condensed milk, and yeast. Another popular version is mofo sakay, which is made with regular mofo batter flavored with chopped greens, vegetables, and chilis.
