BRIEF COOKING PROCESS :

Prepare Dough For Namkeen Mathri : Sieve 1/2 kg Refined flour(maida), 150 gm wheat flour, 150 gm semolina (suji). Take a big bowl or paraat and add Refined flour (maida) to it. Now add wheat flour and semolina to make mathri more crispy. Add 2 tsp of white salt (or to taste), ¼ tsp of baking soda and 2 tsp of carom seeds. Mix it thoroughly. Rub the mixture between your palms until it takes the form of breadcrumbs. Now add 2 tbsp oil/clarified butter (known as moin or moyen) to it. Moin will act as a binder. Mix it. Now start adding water to knead a dough and avoid lumps. To avoid lumps knead it with cold water. When the Dough is ready, sprinkle little amount of oil on it. You don’t have to knead the dough until it turns soft because we don’t want soft mathris. Cover it with damp cloth and keep it aside for 10-15 minutes.

Make Mathri from dough : Now dough is ready. Divide the dough into four equal parts and roll them into a long thick coil with the help of oil. Roll it between your palms and try to make the dough little more tight. Make equal small sized balls(loi) out of the long coil of dough. Roll the balls between your palms and press it. Flatten each ball(loi) in 3″ dia size mathri with a rolling pin or belan to medium thickness. Now make mathris with remaining loi in the same manner. Prick each mathri 6-7 times with the help of a knife, so that mathri will not puff during deep-frying. You can also give different shapes to mathris.

Deep-Frying the Mathris : While preparing mathri , take a pan or kadhayi and add sufficient oil to it. Turn on the flame and let the oil/clarified butter heat. Start putting the mathris one by one in the oil. But add, a few mathris at a time. If you will add the large number of mathri at a time, it can stick to each other and you will not be able to flip the mathris. Flip each mathri 4-5 times till it turns golden brown in color. Fry them on a medium flame. It will take 8-10 minutes. When done, take out the mathris with the help of slotted ladle. Put it on the tissue paper or kitchen towel so that it absorbs extra oil that is very harmful for us. Now deep-fry the next slot of mathris in the same manner. Our any time snack MATHRI is ready now. Let it cool so that it gets little hard and flaky.

Let it cool at room temperature and serve it with pickle or ginger tea.

TIPS :

Keep mathris in an air tight container and you can consume it for 2-3 weeks.

Use tissue paper or kitchen towels to remove excess oil.

You can also add crushed black peppercorns.

Add 1 tsp crushed kasuri methi( dried fenugreek leaves) if you want.

Don’t deep fry mathris on high flame. If you will do so, the mathris will remain uncooked from inside.
