Amiinina

Amiinina is a traditional Malagasy dish originating from Madagascar, a country located in the Indian Ocean. It is a popular street food and is often served as a snack or a light meal. The dish consists of a small, round, and crispy dough ball, typically made from a mixture of flour, water, and sometimes eggs. The dough is usually filled with a savory mixture, which can vary depending on the region and personal preference. Common fillings include a combination of ground meat, onions, garlic, and spices, or a mix of vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, and potatoes. The dough is then deep-fried until golden brown and crispy, resulting in a delightful contrast between the soft filling and the crispy exterior. Amiinina is often served with a side of chili sauce or a spicy tomato sauce to enhance its flavor. It is a beloved dish among locals and tourists alike, reflecting the rich culinary heritage of Madagascar.
