📖 The Story Behind This Dish

In Chad, beignets — balls of yeasted wheat dough with sugar, fried — are sold at morning markets and by the roadside. Crisp outside and fluffy inside, they're eaten with bouillie or tea.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a Chadian roadside in the morning, balls of dough puff up in a big pot of oil, and the fried beignets are heaped in a basket.
