Namkeen Mathri Recipe: Oh wow! Holi is coming, and we have already started making mathri. This special salty mathri of Rajasthan, available at every corner tea stall, will double the fun of this festival. It is crispy and spicy and has a long-lasting effect. Wheat flour and semolina are good for health, so what are you waiting for? Let’s make it!

Ingredients:

2 cups wheat flour
2 tsp semolina
1/2 tsp black pepper (crushed)
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
Oil for frying
Kasuri methi (optional)
Ajwain (optional)
Ghee or oil (for kneading)

Method:

Prepare the dough:

Add wheat flour, semolina, kasuri methi, black pepper, ajwain, cumin seeds, salt and ghee, and mix well in a large bowl.

Rub it with your fingers to make bread-like crumbs.
Knead a stiff dough by adding water little by little.
Cover and keep aside for 15-20 minutes.

Make math:

Make small balls of dough.
Flatten them a little and roll them into medium-thickness mathri with a rolling pin.
You can also make them in your desired shape if you want.

Fry:

Heat oil in a pan on medium flame.
Fry the mathri on low flame till it becomes golden and crispy.
Keep turning it in between so it gets cooked well from all sides.
It will take 8-10 minutes to fry the mathri.
Remove the material on tissue paper so the extra oil drains out when it turns red.

Cool and serve:

When the material cools down, store it in an airtight container.
You can store it for up to a month.

Fact check:

Both wheat flour and semolina are rich in fibre and nutrients.
Homemade mathri is healthier than the market one as it uses fresh oil and ingredients.

It is essential to fry mathri on low flame so it gets cooked well from the inside and becomes crispy.
