📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Mofo gasy means 'Malagasy bread': a batter of rice flour, coconut milk, sugar, and yeast is fermented and cooked in a pan with round wells, a breakfast snack. Crisp outside and fluffy inside, it comes in sweet and savory versions. Buying them with coffee at a morning stall is a classic.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In the half-light of early morning in Antananarivo, mofo gasy come off a round-welled pan over street-corner charcoal as commuters buy them with coffee.
