Mkatra foutra / mkatre wa foutra / Galette comorienne

the mktara foutra is a sésame bread it's Tanzanian and Comorian mkatre or mkate which means bread in Swahili or in Grand Comoro ufutra which means sesame seeds in swahili the comoros have a lot in common with tanzania There are several versions of makatra foutra, there is the one cooked in charcoal and the one in a pan without turning it over on the charcoal or on the fire there is the thickest and the least thick here I offer you the thinner which is my family favorite enjoy Ingredients: 500g of flour 600ml coconut milk 11g instant yeast 1tsp salt Butter / ghee Some sesame seeds Mix the flour and salt, add the yeast. Pour in the milk and mix everything together (beat well by hand is better) The dough should be neither too liquid nor too thick (add a little lukewarm water or a little flour if it is too liquid). Let the dough rest warm, so that it swells well. Brush a little butter in a small frying pan when cooking or prepare a bowl with a little lightly salted water. Moisten the bottom of the pan with your fingertips each time you cook. pour one or 2 ladles of dough in the pan Lower the heat and cover. sprinkle with sesame, turn the bread to finish cooking on the other side. When the bread is brown, remove it from the heat and lightly butter the sesame side to serve with a meat sauce or with the curry of your choice Have a good meal 🥰
