Mix 3 cups of Maida/ Plain Flour with 1 cup of Sooji/ Semolina in a wide vessel.

Add 2 teaspoons Ajwain/ Carom Seeds and 1-2 Teaspoon Salt according to your taste.

Then add 1 cup of molten Desi Ghee and mix well with your hands to coat the flour in the ghee completely.

Add around 1 cup water in small increments to make a tight dough. Divide this dough into small equal portion.

Shape the divided dough into small balls and place them onto a flat surface. Use a rolling pin to flatten them out into small puris around 3-4 inches in diameter.

Heat oil in a pan and fry the mathris in batches till they turn light golden brown in color. Fry them on medium heat for the first few minutes and then turn the heat to low to allow them to cook from the inside.

Drain the excess oil by placing the mathris on a kitchen roll. Mathris are ready. You can serve them immediately or store them for later use. For storage, allow the mathris to cool completely otherwise they will become soggy. Then store them in a airtight container in a cool dry place
