Gato moutaye

The intricate shape of the gato moutaye might be related to the elaborate 'mehendi' design,usually drawn on the palm of the hands (a custom within this comunity). The batter is made of plain flour, yoghurt and sprinkled with dried yeast, then deep fried in oil and finally immersed in syrup.

Sutalfine

Fine vermicelli delicately twisted into a circular shape and cooked with "manthèque" (butter), vegetable oil and sugar. Sutalfine is usually served after the dinner reception in Indian and Muslim weddings. Caution: it can be addictive!!
