Tambi is the non-spice salty yellow colored snack
made by using graham flour. It is among anytime snacks in East Africa
and very popular with kids.
To
make tambi you will need something to press the dough to be released in
stringy form. I use Kitchenaid pasta maker machine but it’s a little
bit tough but you get the idea.

2 cups gram flour
2 tablespoons oil
1 pinch bicarbonate of soda
Salt to taste
Water to make dough
Oil to deep fry
2 tablespoons oil
1 pinch bicarbonate of soda

Heat oil in heavy large frying pan. When it is hot, press the dough through and you may cut off the dough with your fingers.
Cook for about a minute or so. Then carefully flip over the tambi with a fork. Cook another minute but do not allow turning golden. Remove the when it still looks undone and whitish. Place on kitchen paper towel to drain and cool.
Repeat till all the dough is used up. Store as is in a tight container, or crush to small pieces.
