1

To begin, take whole wheat flour in a large bowl. Add in the sooji.

Next, add in salt, ajwain, and kasoori methi. Mix well.
3

Add in melted ghee. Rub it in until you get a breadcrumb consistency.
4

Knead it into a tight dough using cold water. Do not knead it too much. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
5

Once it is rested, divide it into equal portions depending on the size of mathris you prefer and shape them into balls.
6

Press down the ball between your palms. Add a peppercorn in the middle and press again.

Heat oil for deep frying. Add in the mathris a few at a time on low heat. Fry until the bubbles stop appearing and the mathris are golden brown in color.
