The fried dough called khameer or bakhmri is a famous food eaten in Hadramout and it has similar cousins in East Africa, India and other Arab countries. This bread-like treat can be made either sweet or savory depending on your taste. I made mine sweet in this recipe and I served it with tea for breakfast. The black seeds and cardamom are also optional.
Ingredients
How to make
1. Mix the yeast into the water or milk so it dissolves.
2. Mix the yeast/water mixture into the rest of the ingredients to form a smooth dough. Cover and let rise for 1-2 hours.
3. Break the dough into 4 pieces and form into smooth balls. Roll them out with a rolling pin to about 1/8 thick, or a little bit thicker. If you find it difficult to roll out, then then let the dough relax for 10 minutes. Cut them into the desired shapes. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
4. Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium-medium high heat. Place the dough pieces into the oil and it should rise to the top and puff up. You can help this by splashing some oil on top or quickly turning the bakhmri. When it is brown on one side then turn and cook on the other side.
5. Best served when warm.

Wow! I am surprised I did not discover you sooner. I used to search for Yemeni recipes online and didn't find much. I only found you by searching for Gulf style sambusas on youtube! I too am an American lady married to a Yemeni man but I have not had an opportunity to live in Yemen. I am friends here with many Yemeni ladies and learned much from them but the language barrier is really tough. I make many Yemeni recipes but am always trying to learn more an you have now given me that oppurtunity. For that I am truly grateful and offer you many thanks!!!!!

Hi Katherine, love all your recipes, I am a follower of yours and a supporter. I would like to know if I can make the dough the night before and store in the fridge for an easier and faster morning? Jazash Allahu Khair 7abibty.

Hi Mounira and thanks so much for your comment. I have never tried that but i think it would be worth trying. Let me know what you find out

Yes you can make the dough the night before. It comes out great. I've even frozen left over dough and I can't tell you how great it come out.

I have tried various versions of such snack food items at my home and I loved this food called Khameer. The process of
making khameer seemed really simple to me and I think it is more like a anack that can be served with tea.

It's similar to Mahamri AKA Maandazi, which I like very much.
Shukraan!
