- 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 love listening to your voice. Its very zen!!
☺️ never thought of my voice as zen ☺️ thank you
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
Thank you, you made it look so simple. I will definitely try instead of buying🙌🏽
Definitely try making the mahamri at home. Let me know how it goes

Thank youuuu hope you enjoy making the mahamri
Thanks for the recipe. Tried out tonight and it came perfect. The only issue I had is the first 5 are perfect the rest cracked and allowed oil inside....tried to reduce the heat but no change..... please help.
The milk was at room temperature?
Also can you substitute butter with oil?
ahh mahamri na mbaazi man thats breakfast.....thanks for your effort
Breakfasts for kings and queens 👸
Yummy
☺️
Thx my fav😘😋
🤗🤗
Hi Venessa you and your recipes are amaaaazing!!!. I noticed you don't add oil/ghee to your recipe or did I miss out something
Thank youuuu
No need to add oil to the dough because coconut milk already has a high oil content
Wow your oil is so nice and clear! Which one do you use?
I used a store brand, spar
Hey, let me just start by saying love your channel, inspiring me to do more on my channel.
My question was when you leave the dough to rise how long do you do it both times? 15min?
Love your channel name! i let it rise about 1 hour the first rise then 15-30 min after i have cut them
@@swahilifood Aw thank you, Yea I did mine a little shorter so the inside was not as fluffy and thick as I like, but thanks for the recipe
Thank yooou
Anytime 🤗
I have subscribed all your video coz I am really shocked mahamri .mbaazi wow and ur mzungu
🤗
I'm going to try this in an hour's time
Awesome 👏 let me know how it turns out
@@swahilifood didn't turn out so well, i think my yeast was stale. I'll soon give it a second attempt
O.G Francis I hate when that happens with yeast. Make sure you put it in the fridge after you open it. Also, it needs to be in a well sealed container
@@swahilifood roger that chef.. thank you for the informative videos and your replied. God bless you
Thank u so much,,,I'm proud of my country,,, Kenya is so beautiful,, full of nice things,,, may God bless us,,,from the hands of devil's,,, and wicked government,,,
Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏻
What was oil u used
Was that coconut oil?
Can you do a swahili voice cover in one ofnyoyr videos.
☺️ I’ll try
Hi Munira.
When I make the smaller mandazi's they come out well.
But when I make the bigger ones.. mahamri.. they soak in oil.
What could be the problem?
Hi, Make sure the oil temp is right and don't over crowd the pan. Hugs, Vanessa
Thanks for the video.What if ibaked instead of deep frying?
They would still taste great only difference is they wouldn’t be hollow inside
@@swahilifood thanks noted 🤝
They'd be biscuits
@@man_vs_pantry yeast biscuits!?
Your soo beautiful,ilike mahamri
I would appreciate if you would post the complete recipe with INSTRUCTIONS in English text in the description thanks
Hey Joss, all that can be found at www.swahilifood.com 😉
Interesting to know that dough can be frozen. Have you ever frozen chapati dough?
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
@@swahilifood Awesome! Glad I bumped into your channel. You got a new sub😍
Sisternice77 welcome welcome 🤗🤗🤗
Mnazi would be a appropriate word Nazi reminds me of the Second World War. but anyway a good recipe thanks. I regularly had this at a street cart hawker in Mombasa on my way to school way back in 1958 - 1969 when I was living in Mombasa ,Now I am old and miss Mahambri and Mombasa. Cheers.
😅mnazi is the coconut tree and Nazi is the coconut 🥥

Hello hello 👋
Hi, why not use self raising flour?
I love your videos, thank you
How many grams per cup?
136g
Why does mine never swell although I use more yeast they go flat please help where do I go wrong
What type of yeast are you using and how are you storing the yeast once open?
Maybe you put hot oil after yeast that's why.
Iam curious I know you were born and bred in kenya but what's your origin because you don't look mixed
LOL that's a shady and underhanded statement if I ever saw one. And I know girls - jealous statement.

Hizo sesame seeds ni zako. Leave it authentic
Wewe umekuja na siasa. Ebu jaribu na ufuta uwone, utamu tupu
3 c flour
1 tsp yeast
½ cup sugar
1 tsp cardamom
Pinch of salt
1¼ c milk
1 tbsp butter
And don't add sesame because it doesn't add anything to it, it doesn't taste good, and when they fall out it's annoying to clean the oil
