Firi firi is a Tahitian fried dough infused with coconut milk. It is a typical breakfast meal in French Polynesia. The dough is typically made with flour, sugar, coconut milk, yeast, water, and a pinch of salt, and then pieces of it are deep-fried in hot oil until nicely colored and crispy. Often referred to as Tahitian donuts, firi firi are traditionally formed into a figure-eight, but they are also often made into dough strips. Firm, crispy, and with a mild coconut flavor, this sweet fried pastry is best eaten warm, either dusted with sugar or accompanied by fruit jams and a cup of coffee or hot chocolate on the side. Firi firi is also eaten as a dessert and is a common street food item.
