Mkatra Foutra

Mkatra Foutra is like a mix between bread or a pancake. It’s very popular as a Comoros breakfast food! This dish is made with yeast, meaning that the dough needs about an hour to rise before it can be enjoyed, so plan accordingly!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast rounded
  • 7 to 10 oz coconut milk
  • Butter
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Heat water in the microwave for about 10 seconds, until it’s warm, but not hot. Add a pinch of sugar and the dry yeast into the water, and leave the yeast to rise for about 10 minutes.
  • Once the yeast has risen, add it to a bowl with the flour, egg, and salt. Mix until the liquid is absorbed. The texture will be shaggy. Add the coconut milk until the batter is pourable but still thick.
  • Place the batter in a glass bowl and cover with a dish towel. Leave it to rise for 45 minutes to an hour in a dark, warm place.
  • Pour about ⅓ cup of the batter per pancake in the skillet. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Once the bottom is browned, use a spatula to flip and cook the other side.
  • Remove once both sides are cooked. Spread with butter and enjoy!
