About the dish

Makoenva is a traditional African dessert originating from Lesotho. It's made with a combination of flour, sugar, salt, yeast, water, vegetable oil, raisins, and cinnamon. Once the dough for these fritters has been prepared and shaped into small pieces, it's placed into hot oil to fry until nicely browned. The fritters are then rolled in cinnamon and sugar while still hot and served with a warm cup of tea on the side.
