Masha ALlah this looks great!!
Is this similar to a type of fried bread called mandazi?
It is a little bit diffrent, compared to mandazi I have that recipe and I am going to put it up soon.
Thanks
woow that really looks fab, I will try them out as I love pastry dishes!! Keep up the good work Sis,
Wasalamu Alaikum
Thank you so much. I loved this when a Somali lady gave me one just made. Better than any donut I had ever tasted. So now I am going to try this recipe tomorrow. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
thanks so much for this. i wondering sister if it is possible to bake in the oven?
I don’t get it, when u say flour do you mean plain flour or self raising?
you can use plain flour
thanks
It seem unauthentic, isn’t the whole point of “Khameer”to use yeast? That is what Khameer literally means?
Ayesha, you are right maybe you can leave your recipe here for khamiir that would be interesting.
I like to cut corners sometimes, and it is a lot easier to make it this way.
WOW! Habo i really think that you should open a catering restraunt or something this is awesome! All the best to the family!
Mashallah keep up the good work!
Thanks Ibtihaaj
