Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). This ensures the mathri bake evenly.
  • In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, sorghum flour, pearl millet flour, chia seeds, sesame seeds, jaggery or honey, crushed black peppercorns, salt, and optional coriander.
  • Add the oil to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips to rub the oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs. This helps create a flaky texture.
  • Gradually add cold water, a tablespoon at a time, while mixing with your hands. Push the dough from the sides to the middle of the bowl. Stop adding water once a firm, yet pliable dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in more tender mathri.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large circle, about 1/4 inch thick.

  • Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into triangles or desired shapes. Alternatively, use a cookie cutter to cut out circles.

  • Place the mathri on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Prick each mathri evenly with a fork. This prevents them from puffing up excessively during baking.

  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. The baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  • Remove the mathri from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Cooling ensures they become perfectly crisp.
  • Store the cooled mathri in an airtight container to maintain their crispness. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
  • Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or less chili powder or using a different type of chili altogether.
  • If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked chicken, but be sure to add it towards the end of the cooking process to warm it through.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover chicken chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • You can also freeze the chili for longer storage. Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to a freezer-safe container or bag. It will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer.
