METHOD

  1. STEW:
  2. In a large saucepan, add oil, onions, garlic, ginger, curry powder, paprika and fry for about 2 - 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent any burning.
  3. Add tomatoes and continue cooking for about 3 - 5 minutes then add potatoes, stock cube, cayenne pepper, white pepper, mix until ingredients have been thoroughly combined.

  7. Finally, add parsley, and adjust the seasoning. Set aside.
  8. MAGWINYA:
  9. In a large bowl, mix salt, sugar, water, and yeast. Set aside for 5 minutes.
  10. Add the flour then mix dough until everything has come together.
  11. Cover loosely with a clean cloth and let rise in a warm place for 30 - 40 minutes or until doubled in size.
  12. Knock the dough on a floured surface, flatten to knock out air bubbles and knead to make firm.
  13. Add flour as needed.
  14. Roll out dough into your desired thickness and place in a floured pan and rest the dough for 30 minutes.
  15. In a medium saucepan, heat enough vegetable oil (half of the pan) until oil is 180 degrees.
  16. Fry the Magwinya until golden brown for about 3 - 5 minutes per side depending on size.
  17. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
