Evening tea-time is incomplete without pairing the hot cup of chai with a crunchy snack. Instead of opening a pack of biscuits, why don’t you make crispy mathris with this Punjabi recipe?
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 it aside.
Mix maida, atta, ajwain, kali mirch, kasuri methi, jeera, hing, and salt.
Knead the 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 mathri till they are golden brown. Let it cool and serve.
