FUGIYAS - East INDIAN BALOON Bread
Fugiyas are made by mixing flour, eggs and coconut milk together with yeast. Some recipes use regular milk but I prefer the rich taste of coconut milk in my Fugiyas. Once the dough rises, the dough is grabbed with one hand and released with the other hand that is wet and the ball of dough is just dropped into the oil when it puffs up. This is an East Indian tradition that you can make in your own home!
