Waiting for a cook

Mkatra Siniya

Comoros

What we know so far

Mkatra siniya is the Comorian "white cake": a dense, moist cake made from soaked rice ground with fresh coconut and coconut milk, sweetened and scented with cardamom and vanilla, and baked in a tray. There is no wheat flour in it at all. It comes out for weddings, baptisms, Eid and any large family feast, and it is eaten in squares with tea. Siniya means tray in Swahili, which is how the cake gets its name; on the Kenyan coast the same bake is called mkate wa sinia.
