- When the khamir incorporates with the flour, start kneading it with very little water at a time.
- Knead a slightly tight dough as we knead for making poori.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl and also apply some oil on the dough too.
- Cover the bowl with a cling film and let it rest to raise for about 20 to 30 minutes at some warm place in the kitchen.
- After 30 minutes, the dough will be raised slightly.
- Again knead the dough for 2 minutes.
- Now begin to make khamire from it. Take a small ball size dough and roll it without dusting flour into a medium sized disk. It's size is usually bit bigger than poori and smaller than roti.
- Put it in a medium hot oil.
- Initially, the disk will drop down in oil.
- It will raise above on the surface of the oil in few seconds and begins to float.
- Gently press it with the back of spider strainer skimmer ladle. It will puff up into a round ball, like pooris or bhature puff up.
- Cook it from both the sides till golden.
- Take them out on a paper napkin so that some oil gets absorbed. Like prepare all the dough balls.
- Your khamire is ready.
