Waiting for a cook

Vitumbuwa

Zambia

What we know so far

Vitumbuwa are Zambia's fritters: spoonfuls of a soft, sweet wheat batter dropped into hot oil and fried into golden, irregular puffs, eaten for breakfast with tea, sold at bus stations and market stalls, and now stacked in bakery windows. They are the Zambian cousin of the mandazi and the puff puff, closer to the latter: a yeast batter that rises and is scooped, not a rolled dough. Home cooks make a quick baking-powder version too. Plain and hot is the usual way; a modern touch is an orange syrup or icing.
