Description

Mathri is a kind of flaky biscuit from north-west region of India, mainly Rajasthan. It is usually made from flour, water, and, optionally, carom seeds. It is one of the most popular snacks in North India, and is part of most marriage cooking or religious occasions like Karva Chauth and even as tea-time snack. Although it is eaten as it is, mathri is sometimes served with mango, chilli or lemon pickle along with tea. It is also served at marriages and poojas. Masala mathri is a variant of mathri with spices added to make it more crispy. Mathri is also available in different flavours, such as fenugreek leaves (methi), pickle (achari mathri), cumin (jeera) and masala (mixed spices). Though traditionally mathris were fried but over the years even baked mathris have become very common. Infact texture wise, of course, the fried mathri is definitely better, but the baked one is good too. They are a little less golden than the fried ones and have a faint denseness. But good for a low-calorie option.
