From Kadhai to Air Fryer: Khasta Masala Mathi Chaat Recipe

Name: From Kadhai To Air Fryer: Khasta Masala Mathi Chaat Recipe
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 1
Cuisine: North Indian

Recipe By Ritika Gupta

Mathis are a taste of home for me. As a Baniya from Uttar Pradesh, I’ve grown up seeing homemade mathis made for almost every occasion and enjoyed with chai. But this family favourite has always been deep-fried. For this challenge, I wanted to give it more than just a healthier cooking method—I wanted to reinvent it. I’ve swapped the kadhai for an air fryer and transformed the traditional mathi into a crisp, masala-coated chaat, bringing together the flavours of our old family favourite with a fresh, contemporary twist. ❤️🇮🇳
