  • Yes i said it, better than beignets and why? Well, there's no eggs and there's no dairy yet somehow these beautiful pillows of love turn out soft and airy, like a cloud. These are from East Africa (and an awesome place to start to learn about cuisine from the sunny shores of Mombasa and Zanzibar) round there they are known as Mahamri. I love mahamri especially when you add mbaazi (pigeon peas cooked in coconut) as a side. This recipe is a 'no fail' recipe as long as you follow the ingredients and steps.

    I just made these fluffy goodness! Thank you so much. Everyone in my house is greatful for them. They came home greeted with mahamri dusted with spiced sugar and chocolate milk!
    I love that all the ingredients were readily available in my house. The kids want them with Nutella for school! We're having them like mini donuts but I bet they'd prefer them more with the mbazi curry you showed. That's how I had it in Kenya! Thanks again.xxx

      Yes, it makes life so easy and yes, I’ve frozen chapati dough after I’ve put ghee, rolled, cut and tucked. It needs to be put in an air right container. Let it thaw out fully when you’re ready to use it, roll the chapati out and cook
