Mathri| Crisp and savory Mathri | How to make Mathri recipe

September 20, 2017 by Pranay Singh Leave a Comment

Mathri

Food preferences evolve with time. Some likes and dislikes that we develop over the years stay with us while some change radically. To explain this with an example, I had a strong aversion for dairy products like Paneer and curd but over the years I have convinced my taste buds to come to terms with these products and now I have come to like them.

Mathri was one food item that has stayed as my favored food item for all these years. To put my statement in a perspective I can continue to savor Mathris throughout the year without letting any boredom slip in.  The crisp and savory, golden colored, deep-fried Mathris and a cup of hot tea is my dream evening snack.  Mom is a specialist in Mathris. She can keep churning out fresh batch of Mathris that are perfectly crisp, perfect texture and bang on taste, every week without making any mistakes.

Mathri

This recipe that we share today is from her documented recipes from her diaries. Nothing is more satisfying than the feeling of you being successful in your attempt of replicating heirloom recipes. These fresh batch of Mathris would last for a week at my place. Ensure you keep them in an air tight container to retain the freshness and the crispiness. With the rains beginning to show signs of receding, here’s your final chance of enjoying rains with some savory Mathris and hot tea.

  5. Roll the balls flat into the round shape (like pooris). We will make slits with knife to make it look like a mat.Don't cut till the edges (long strips in the middle).
