Mathri Recipe | Diwali Special

Mathri or Matti or Mathiya is a popular snack in North India. Crispy-Flaky and flavourful Mathris are yummy and can be made at home. You can have it with a hot cup of tea or serve it to your guests with aam ka achar. 

There are varieties of Mathris available in the market. You can make normal plain ones or Jeera/Ajwain Ones. You can make it either from Whole Wheat Flour or Maida. I have learned this from my Mum in law.

Let’s get started with Diwali Celebrations.
