How To Cook Healthy Soft Coconut Mahamri| Mandazi
Easy soft and healthy mahamri/mandazis made by a mixture of whole wheat flour and all purpose flour and coconut milk and flakes for flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup All purpose flour
- 5 tbsp Pure Mountain pure canola oil (more for frying)
- 1 1/2 cups Coconut milk
- 1 cup Coconut sugar
- 1 cup Desiccated coconut flakes
- 1 sachet Dry instant yeast
- 1 tbsp Cardamom powder
- 1 tsp Cinnamon powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl add whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, coconut sugar, flakes, yeast and cardamom powder and combine together
- Add coconut milk into the flour and mix until the dough comes together.
- Transfer the dough unto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10-15 minutes. Take sometime here as this contributes to soft mahamri.
- Form into a ball and place in a bowl to proof in a warm area for 1 hour.
- After one hour, divide the dough into small quarters then form them into small balls.
- Take one ball and cover the rest in a damp cloth to avoid drying out. Press the ball into a circle and start rolling it into a bigger circle.
- Then cut the circle into 4 quarters/triangles. Repeat the rest of balls.
- Heat a deep frying pan with some Pure Mountain pure Canola Oil until hot. Use a wooded spoon to test how hot the oil is. If you see lots of bubbles the oil is hot enough.
- Drop a few triangular pieces into the oil and make sure not to overcrowd.
- Cook each side until lightly brown. Remove from heat and continue until all the mahamris are cooked. Enjoy with some tea.
