Malagasy mofo sakay literally translated mean spicy bread. These little fritters are found as a street food and a much loved treat. They can be made with all sorts of items mixed in with the batter to create any number of types of mofo. If you just used greens it would be called mofo anana which means leafy green bread. You get the idea, they can be made sweet, savory or spicy. As we had an abundance of spicy peppers and tomatoes in our International cuisine garden we went the spicy route. They turned out with the colors of the Madagascar flag. However you make them you will love them. Little fried bundles of joy!
