Liberian Pepper Kala
Pepper Kala is a traditional dish in Liberia. Puff-puff is a Liberian nickname for Pepper Kala. Many students enjoy this as a snack. Women in Liberia are in charge of making, and a few run a little stall on the streets to support their families.
Aside from the standard version, the chefs here can make it into a Liberian sweet delight. These golden balls can be swirled in sugar after deep-frying in vegetable oil to create a white snow covering on the outside. You can eat it alone or with coffee, beans, and liquids for breakfast. This Liberian breakfast dish will make you feel like a "genuine" Liberian.
The fundamental ingredients are straightforward: flour, sugar, salt, water, yeast, and, occasionally, egg. Under the name Mandazi, it has spread to the southern and eastern parts of West Africa.
