• If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more milk.
• You can add spices such as cardamom or saffron to the dough for extra flavor.

Storage and Serving

• Khameer is best served fresh and warm.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the khameer in a preheated oven at 180掳C (350掳F) for a few minutes until warmed through.
