An age old snack that's popular especially in North India, mathri works best with a cup of chai in the morning or in the evening ✨

It is something that is very commonly prepared at my home around holi, though this time, we decided to give it a twist 😋

Instead of making our regular circular mathri, we made these spiral mathris. Even though they take a little longer to make, but the effort is worth it 😍

Do try them out! 🙌🏼

    After 10 mins. Take it out of the fridge and cut 1/2 cm thick rounds of the dough. You should be able to see all the layers.
