ABOUT DONUT STYLE BEETROOT MATHRI RECIPE

Mathri is one of the most popular desi snacks of north India. I have given a twist to the Mathri By adding the Beetroot. It makes Mathri more attractive and healthy. Enjoy the Mathri Recipe and share your views.I have never had a beetroot mathri anywhere. But my exploring self, pampered me to do so. And the outcome was these bright pink beauties. So I added beet juice to the flour, which makes it even more healthier. They not only look gorgeous but taste awesome too. For me, mathris are always darn delicious.
