Methi Mathri / how to make mathri in steps
Written by Jayashree

Methi  Mathri is an Indian snack usually made in many households. It is crispy, tasty and ideal to serve with tea or during mid-day.

It’s ideal to store these snacks at home, children crave quite often and they make good snacks with masala chai. It is ideal to carry during travelling.

I have many snack recipes on my blog, from crispy avalakki (poha chiwda) to nippattu and kodbole. these are essential during festivals.

  • 1/4 cup semolina
  • 3/4 cup fenugreek leaves
  • 2 tablespoon ghee
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon pepper powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ajwain
  • salt to taste
  • 1/4 cup water
  • oil for frying

Method:

  1. Cut and wash the fenugreek leaves, put them in a colander.
  2. Mix wheat flour and semolina in a bowl. Add cumin, pepper powder, salt and ajwain to it. Add ghee and rub it well.
  3. Add fenugreek leaves, mix well.
  4. Add water to it, knead to a stiff dough.
  5. Keep it aside for five minutes.
  6. Heat oil in a pan.
  7. Take a ball of the dough, roll into a thin ircle. Cut into discs using a cookie cutter or any circular shaped object. Pork them with a fork.
  8. Put the discs in oil. Deep fry them on slow to medium flame, once they are golden in colour, remove on a plate with a tissue paper/ absorbent paper on it.
  9. Repeat for the rest of the dough.

Take a tip:

  1. You can take small ball of the dough, roll into a thin puri and then prick with a fork. Repeat for all the balls.
  2. You can reduce the amount of fenugreek leaves to 1/2 cup

I love the methi flavour in anything. These mathris are a healthier version as you have used whole wheat flour.
