If someone gave you a packet of Chia seeds what would you make with them?, a glass of water to be had before a party to fill you up and avoid over eating?, or would you make good old pudding with a new flavour?
Well how about a crunchy, yummy, low oil, baked snack?, These Baked Multigrain Mathri's with Pink Harvest Chia Seeds combine the goodness of good carbs, unsaturated fats and the goodness of Omega 3 fatty acids, protein, fiber, antioxidants and calcium in a single piece. So, so good.....
Preheat the oven to 180 C.
To begin making the Baked Mathri recipe, combine the flours, chia seeds, salt, black pepper seeds, coriander leaves and sesame seeds.
Work the oil into the flours with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Sprinkle ice water onto the crumbly dough and with your hands push the dough from the sides to the middle of the bowl to form a ball that holds together and becomes a firm, yet pliable dough.
Cover the mathri dough with a damp cloth and set aside for 15 minutes.
Roll the dough into a large circle, and use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut into triangles or a cookie cutter to cut them into circles.
You can also divide the mathri dough into small balls and roll out all the balls into small circles of 2 inch diameter and about 1/2 inch thickness.
Arrange the mathri dough pieces on a greased baking sheet and prick them evenly with a fork to prevent them from puffing while in the oven.
Bake the mathri's for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove the mathri's out of the oven and allow them to cool completely before serving.
Once cooled completely, store the baked mathri's in an airtight container.
Savor these delicious Baked Multigrain Mathris with a spicy mango pickle as a tea time snack.
