Follow this simple recipe to prepare homemade mahamri that will for sure impress your family and friends:

Ingredients:

4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon yeast

1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup coconut milk

1/2 cup warm water

 Vegetable oil for frying

Below are the steps on how to prepare

In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, yeast, cardamom powder, and salt.

Add the coconut milk and warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles and divide it into small equal-sized balls.

Roll each ball into a circular shape, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat.

Fry the mahamri in batches until it turns brown.

Serve.
