Karwa Chauth is here, and the sargi thali is the first thing that sets the tone for a long day of the nirjala vrat. Amongst the many options on a Sargi thali, mathi always stands out. Here’s an easy recipe to make Karwa Chauth mathi at home.
2 cups maida ½ cup whole wheat flour 3 tablespoons ghee 5-6 tablespoons water 2 teaspoons ajwain 2 teaspoons kali mirch 2 teaspoons kasuri methi 1 teaspoon jeera 1 pinch hing 1 pinch baking soda Salt to taste Oil for deep frying
Heat some ghee and set aside.
Mix maida, atta, ajwain, kali mirch, kasuri methi, jeera, hing, and salt.
Knead a dough by adding warm ghee and water. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
Take small portions of the dough and roll them into thick discs.
Deep-fry the mathi until golden brown. Let them cool and serve.
