1 1/2 cup rice. ( soaked overnight and drained)

1/2 cup sugar

1 cup coconut milk

1 teaspoon yeast

pinch of cardamom powder ( optional)

oil

 

Combine all the ingredients ( except oil) and blend till nice and smooth. Remove in bowl ,cover and place the mixture in a warm place and let the mixture rise for about 1  hour. Stir the mixture and set aside. Heat the vitumbwa  pan on medium heat,  lightly grease the pan with oil to prevent sticking. Pour a scoop of batter in wells of pan, be quick and careful. The batter should sizzle when it hits the hot pan. Wait till the sides of vitumbwa starts to pull away from the pan and   the edges gets golden brown. flip them over with the skewers and let cook for about 2 minutes or until cooked through.
