Authentic Malagasy Pan-Fried Cheese Pastry

Assemble the ingredients: cheese, olive oil, stock, tomato, turmeric, cinnamon, carrot.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the cheese and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Malagasy flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Malagasy accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
