i

"Mathri" is a savoury item taken with a cup of tea in India specially

in winters. These very delicious salty crackers are made and can be stored

for a month or two.

Ingredients:

Plain Flour- 500 gms
Fenugreek leaves(Methi)- (if fresh, wash & dry them carefully and

chop finely)
Clarified butter- 1/2 cup
Carom seeds- 1 tsp
Salt- 1 tsp
Baking Soda- Less than 1/2 tsp
Veg Refined oil- for frying

Cooking Time: Under 30 min
Prep Time: Under 20 min


Recipe:

Mix flour, carom seeds, salt, baking soda and Fenugreek leaves.

Add the clarified butter and rub well. Knead a tight dough with

water. Cover and keep aside the dough for 20 minutes.

Heat the oil for frying in a deep frying pan. Make small balls of the

dough and with the help of the rolling pin spread the ball into a

round just like cookie shape. With the help of a fork, make some

holes on the cookie.
We need to slow fry these 3-4 cookies in oil till light brown. The

heat should be minimum so it will make the cookie very crunchy. It

should take a minimum of 3-6 minutes.
Take the cookies out and place them on the paper napkin to soak

the oil and cool them.

Fry all of them on a very low flame and once all of them are cooled,

they can be stored in an air tight container for a month.

Now, just take them out and serve them with a hot cup of tea.

Happy Cooking!!!
