Malai Mathri | Holi Special | 3 ingredient recipe.

The festive season is about enjoying great food, good company, spending time with friends and family, and be happy. Holi is one festival which is full of vibrant colors, eating delicious gujiyas and how can we forget thandai? If you are someone who loves eating but not very fond of sweets, this recipe is for you.

Malai Mathri is an easy peasy recipe which I have learned from my Mother-in-law. Mathri is an Indian snack made of all-purpose flour and eaten as a tea time snack. It’s basically shakkar paare, but instead of sugar she adds malai and a small quantity of sugar and the recipe does its magic. Trust me, these are not that sweet and you just can’t stop eating. Oh, the best part about this recipe is you just require 3 ingredients and voila, it’s ready. Malai Mathri can be eaten with a hot cup of tea or just like that.

Malai Mathri can be made and stored in an airtight container. Serve it to your guests and they will love it too.
