Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour maida
- 1/4 cup Semolina sooji
- 1 tsp Gram Flour besan
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper black, ground
- 1/2 tsp Cumin roasted and ground, seeds
- 1/2 tsp Carom Seeds ajwain
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Gradually add water and oil, mixing until a firm, smooth dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until the dough becomes elastic.
Rest and Shape
- Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls. Flatten each ball using your palms into a thin, roughly circular shape (about 1/8 inch thick).
Chill and Fry
- Place the flattened mathri on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This chilling step helps to crisp them up nicely.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadai over medium heat. Once the oil is hot (a small piece of dough should sizzle immediately), carefully fry the mathri in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Serve
- Remove the fried mathri from the pan and place them on a wire rack or paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve warm with chai, coffee, or as a snack.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Mathri
- For extra crispy mathri, use a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while frying; fry in batches to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Adjust the amount of water as needed to achieve a firm, non-sticky dough.
- Roasting the cumin seeds before grinding enhances their flavor and aroma.
