The best way to ensure you are frying your mahamri at the right temperature is by using an Instant read thermometer. The temperature should be between 350°F (176°C) and 360°F (182°C). If you do not own an Instant read thermometer, you can check the temperature by dropping a piece of dough or sticking the bottom of a wooden spoon in the oil. You know the temperature is right if bubbles form around the wooden spoon or the piece of dough and it floats up.
