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! 🙌🏼

Steps

1 hour

1

Combine flour, sooji, salt and oil in a bowl. Then add water and knead a stiff dough. Let the dough rest for 10-15 mins.
2

Divide the dough in 6 balls and roll each of them.
3

Make a slurry with ghee and flour and apply it on the first layer.
4

After applying the paste of flour and ghee, dust a little bit of rice flour before placing another layer of the dough. This is done to avoid the layers getting stuck together.
5

Repeat the same process for all the layers.
6

Now carefully roll the dough, cover it with a kitchen towel and keep it in the fridge for 10 mins. This will set the dough.
7

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.
8

Now carefully roll out the dough using a rolling pin.
9

Deep fry the mathris on low flame for 8-10 mins, till golden brown and crisp.
10

Cool and serve with chai. These mathris, if stored in an air tight container, will remain good for upto a month.
