Mkatra foutra

Mkatra foutra is a staple flatbread of the Comoros. It's made with flour, water, sugar, yeast, salt, coconut milk or cream, and a beaten egg. The flatbread contains coconut milk or cream because the islands lack a dairy industry. It is believed that mkatra foutra was probably brought to the islands by Omani traders or immigrants.

The dough is baked on a ghee-brushed griddle or pan, and it's traditionally sprinkled with sesame seeds before baking. It is recommended to serve it with coconut-based curries, rougaille, or various relishes.
