Guilt free snacks are a big relief .... having the same crunch of mathri as fried one . Mathri is a popular tea time snack of North India..... Tried the baked version of mathri and it came out to be crunchy and trust me it is better than of any haldiram or any packet one.... with no preservatives n no bad oil.... :)
Ingredients
3/4 cup All-purpose flour
1/4 cup Whole wheat flour
1/4 cup Suji
3 tbsp or Ghee (melted)
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp Red Chilli powder or less
1/4 tsp Ajwain (carom seeds)
4 tsp Kasuri Methi (dried fenugreek leaves)
1 Pinch – Hing
Salt to taste
10-12 Tbsp Chilled Water(to kneed dough can add more if required)
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180° C
- In a large bowl mix together all dry ingredients – all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, suji, turmeric, red chilli powder, carom seeds, kasuri methi , hing and salt . Mix well.
- To the above mixture add the ghee and mix well again.
- Now add water, to form a medium texture dough.... not too tight not too loose. Do not knead too much . Cover and set aside for 30-45 mins.
- Divide the above prepared dough into small , equal sized balls. Press and flatten these balls using your palm or using rolling pin and form into small mathri shape/ discs.
- Place these discs on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake at 180° C for 20 mins and 190° C for the next 10-15 mins.... as crisp as you want but keep an eye after 10 minutes.... as it get harden after being cooled...
- Flip twice for even coloring.
- Once baked, cool on a cooling rack and store in an air-tight container. Serve with your favorite Pickle ... Tastes best with Chai/Tea .... :)
