1. 1Step 1: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cardamom and salt.
2. 2Step 2: Add the coconut milk and bind together. Knead for 5 minutes until soft and smooth. Do not over knead the dough. Cover with a thin layer of oil and wrap in cling film. Allow the dough to rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
3. 3Step 3: Dust a clean work surface with flour. Divide the dough into two equal portions and form into two balls.
4. 4Step 4: Take the first ball and roll out until its around 1/2 cm thick. Cut the dough in half, and then into quarters, so that you have four equal pieces. Set aside onto a tray.
5. 5Step 5: Repeat for the other portion of dough.
6. 6Step 6: Heat the oil in a pan suitable for deep frying. Once the oil reaches 215C, or is almost smoking hot, you can carefully place the mandazi dough in. Fry in small batches. Agitate the mandazi with a perforated spoon to encourage it to rise. If you pour the hot oil on top, this will help them puff up. Turn and cook both sides until golden brown. Note: If the Mandazi do not puff up, it's probably because the oil is not hot enough.
