Description
Namkeen Mathri is made from a dough that combines all-purpose flour, ghee or oil, and a blend of spices and herbs. The dough is kneaded until it becomes firm and smooth.
The dough is then divided into small portions and rolled out into round or rectangular shapes. These shapes are further adorned with perforations or small cuts using a fork or a special tool. These indentations help the Mathri cook evenly and achieve its characteristic crispy texture.
Once shaped, the Mathris are deep-fried in hot oil until they turn golden brown and crispy. The frying process gives them a delightful crunch and a rich, savory flavor.
Namkeen Mathri is known for its savory taste, which is derived from a combination of spices such as cumin seeds, carom seeds (ajwain), black pepper, and sometimes, dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi). These spices add a unique and aromatic flavor to the Mathri.
The snack is typically enjoyed as a tea-time treat, especially during festivals, family gatherings, and special occasions. It can be served with a cup of hot tea or enjoyed on its own as a quick and satisfying snack.
The crispy and flaky texture, along with the savory and aromatic flavors, make Namkeen Mathri a popular choice among snack lovers. Its versatility and long shelf life also make it a convenient option for travel or as a party snack.
