1. 1Step 1: Mix the dry ingredients (flour, salt, sugar, yeast).
2. 2Step 2: Add the oil.
3. 3Step 3: Slowly add in the warm milk until you achieve a cohesive dough. You might not need all the milk.
4. 4Step 4: Knead for 10 minutes to get a soft dough.
5. 5Step 5: Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.
6. 6Step 6: Split the dough into three balls and let them rest for about 10 minutes as you preheat the oil. You do not want the oil to get too hot.
7. 7Step 7: Fill a wide pan or pot with enough oil to fill about 2/3s in volume.
8. 8Step 8: On a well floured surface, roll out each ball into circles about 6 - 7 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. Cut the circles into quarters.
9. 9Step 9: Fry each piece in the oil, maintaining the heat at medium heat and not overcrowding the pot. Fry on one side at a time for about 2-3 minutes to ensure the mahamri puff up sufficiently and turn a light golden brown. This also gives the mahamri its signature white line.
10. 10Step 10: Serve hot.
