Methi Mathri Recipe, Methi Mathri is an easy Indian savory snack recipe made with fresh methi leaves and Whole-wheat flour. Sweet Mathri Recipe is another version of the Mathri recipe in Sweet version. I am always on the lookout for savory crackers and have tried Masala Puri Recipe even though they are deep-fried, I love to have them as my tea-time snacks. But this version looks so lovely! I got the recipe from my friend Jalpa. She made it for our last Tea Party. Everyone loved the taste, Quickly got the recipe from her because my version is different and I always bake the Mathris, not deep-fried one. This time I fried the Mathri(for the blog post) 🙂
Holi is around the corner, if you are looking for savory snack recipe I would like to suggest you try this Methi Mathri recipe, I bet you loved it. Crispy, crunchy, flaky Mathri are very good snacks for kids too. I have made this with wheat flour and fresh methi leaves combination but you can try this wheat flour and dry methi leaves. Very good snacks you can make and store it properly it will stay for a month also. Methi leaves and ajwain gives a nice flavor and it is very healthy too so don’t skip adding it. Check the Gujarati snack with methi leaves Methi Muthia.
Methi Mathri is a very easy snack with very fewer ingredients. Thank you so much, Jalpa, for the recipe. Methi Thepla is my other fav Gujarati recipe made with fresh methi leaves which I shared long back.
How to make perfectly flaky Mathri:
- First off, It’s really important to add room temperature ghee or butter instead of hot or cold. It creates pockets of air to help make those flaky layers in Mathri.
- Also, crumble the flour once the fat added(ghee or butter)
- Finally don’t press hard and roll the Mathris, just pinch a ball sized dough and flatten with hand.
- prick using a fork to prevent from puffing.
- Most Important Tip is that always fry in low to medium flame.
