💡 Consejos de Profesional: Ensure all dry ingredients are well combined. - 2
In a separate small bowl, whisk the beaten egg with warm milk and warm water.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: The water should be warm, not hot, to activate the yeast if using, or to create a pliable dough. - 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30-40 minutes.

Divide the Khamir dough into eight equal pieces and roll each piece into a thin, 5-inch round. Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat for deep frying.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: Maintain a consistent oil temperature for even frying. - 6

For Malawax: Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet or a traditional Somali 'celis' (griddle) over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface and swirl to create a thin, round pancake. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift and the surface bubbles.

Flip the Malawax and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter.
