Dear Viewers! There is slight mistake in MAANDAZI recipe ...instead of 41/2 cups of coconut milk take 1 1/2 cups of it .add gradually to the flour and knead till flour soft and smooth(IF THE DOUGH IS STIL HARD YOU CAN ADD EVEN THE LIGHT COCONUT MILK OR WATER)...SORRY FOR THE ERROR!

Hi Sandeep! Yes it is powdered yeast..but you can use any yeast. Regarding milk you can use fresh but you wont get the exact taste...so use coconut milk for better results..
