Vitumbua

Method 7 steps

1. 1

   Drain the soaked rice and grind it with the coconut milk into a smooth, loose batter.

2. 2

   Stir in the yeast, sugar, cardamom, salt and grated coconut.

3. 3

   Leave the batter to ferment four hours in the warm, until it is covered in bubbles.

4. 4

   Stir the batter and check the body: it should pour in a ribbon rather than drop in a lump.

5. 5

   Heat the dimpled pan and brush each well with oil.

6. 6

   Fill the wells three-quarters full and cook three minutes, until the edges set.

7. 7

   Turn the cakes with a skewer and give them three minutes more, to a browned sphere.
