A mandoca is a Venezuelan deep fried, ring-shaped food, made with a mix of plantains and cornmeal. It is usually served at breakfast, with butter, cheese and coffee. and it is most popular in Zulia and Falcón states of the country. Mandocas are one of a variety of specialties exclusively created in Zulia.
Though their relevance has been shaded by the new transnational tendencies because its creation was not intended for massive consumption or for marketing, it remains a basic and important part of the culinary culture of Zulia. It is made of corn meal, water, salt, grated queso blanco (hard, salty, white cheese), sugar or panela and very ripe plantains.
