ABOUT Masale-wali Mathri ( And a very Happy Diwali ) RECIPE

A munchy snack that is very apt for small gatherings during the festive season !

Ingredients Serving: 6

1 cup maida ( refined flour )
1 cup atta ( whole wheat flour )
1 tsp peppercorn
1 tsp kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves)
1/4 tsp ajwain (carom seeds)
salt to taste
A pinch of baking powder
2 tbsp ghee
oil for deep frying

Instructions

Take the maida, atta and baking powder in a big bowl. Add the hot ghee to it. Rub it into the flour so that the texture resembles bread crumbs. This will take about 5 minutes.
Add the crushed peppercorn, carom seeds and kasuri methi to it. Sprinkle salt as per taste. Mix in. Add warm water little by little and knead into a tight dough.
Smear the dough with a few drops of oil. Cover and keep aside for 5 minutes.
Heat the oil in a wok.
Roll out the dough into a thick circle (about 2 mm thickness). Take the cap of a bottle and cut out small circles (about 3 cm in diameter). Pierce holes into the circles with a fork.
Add 4-5 circles to the hot oil and fry till light brown on both sides. Take out and place on paper napkins. Repeat for the remaining dough.
Once the mathri had cooled down completely, store it in an airtight container.
This recipe will yield about 30-32 pieces.
