Traditionally the maithri's are deep fried in ghee (clarified butter). Here in this recipe, I added grated beetroot with atta. And have baked them making it a healthier alternative to deep frying. Rabdi is a very popular traditional sweet dish of thickened sweetened milk. I gave it a twist by adding pomegranate juice in it. The combination of Crispy Mathri & Pomegranate Rabdi is just mind blowing .
