Methi Mathri
Methi Mathri
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Take maida, semolina, carom seeds, kasuri methi, black peppercorns, 3-tablespoons ghee and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl.
- 2
Mix all ingredients together using your fingers until mixture turns crumbly.
- 3
Add water in small incremental steps (1-2 tablespoons at a time, total water quantity required would be approx. 1/3 cup) and knead it into firm dough. It should be harder than paratha dough. It is not necessary to knead the dough until smooth surface. Add 1-2 teaspoons more water if required.
- 4
Cover it with muslin cloth and keep aside for 15-20 minutes. Knead the dough again for a minute and divide it into 24-26 equal portions. Place each portion on rolling board and slightly press it using your palm. Roll it out into round flat surface having ½-inch thickness and approx. 2-3 inches diameter using rolling pin. No need to make perfect round shaped flat puri.
- 5
Make 8-10 pricks on it using fork (this will help prevent puffing during deep frying). Make flattened circles from remaining dough balls in the same way.
- 6
Heat oil in a heavy based frying pan over medium flame. When oil is medium hot, add 4-5 rolled circles at a time into the hot oil and reduce flame to low. Deep fry them over low flame.
When bottom surface turns light golden brown, flip it over to another side and deep-fry until another side turns golden brown and crisp. - 7
It will take around 5-7 minutes total to deep fry both sides. Lift them out of oil using slotted spoon, drain excess oil and transfer them over to a plate. (If possible, spread kitchen tissue on plate before placing mathris on it. This will help soak excess oil.)
- 8
Deep-fry remaining flattened circles in the same way. Cool them at room temperature and store methi ki mathari in an airtight container. Consume them within 10-15 days.ENJOY!

Healthy Diwali Treats : Baked Wholewheat Mathri Healthy Diwali Treats : Baked Wholewheat Mathri
Mathri are deep fried crackers that are whipped up during most Indian festivals in the savory festival collection. They usually are made with all purpose flour/maida and/or semolina with seeds of choice added to the dough. My version is BAKED!You can sub out the Indian spices with dried herbs like basil/parsley. It is a great base wheat cracker to change up to preference and munch on as is, with hummus, chutneys, dips or soups or make canapes with toppings of choice!These crackers are crunchy and need very less fat. It's amazing how a 'wheat only' cracker with so less fat can stay so crispy without getting hard. Whip these up this Diwali for a guilt-free Diwali. Your family and friends are sure to love them.http://www.theculinarytrail.com/healthy-diwali-treats-baked-wholewheat-mathri-recipe

Diwali Special - Rose-Matar Mathari! Diwali Special - Rose-Matar Mathari!
Mathri is one of the most popular snacks in North India. It is a kind of flaky biscuits, made from flour, water, carom and cumin seeds. The creation of this snack was influenced by the need to have preserved food that will stay edible for days. Mathri is served with mango, chilli or lemon pickle along with tea. I made some twist, added some masalas, green peas and made this rose mathri. They looks beautiful, as rose itself is beautiful, healthy and tasty.
