Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups All Purpose flour (plain flour or maida)
- 1/4 cup sooji (semolina flour)
- 1 teaspoon salt (use as needed)
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon ajwain
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup lukewarm water (use as needed)
- Oil to fry
Method
- Mix all the ingredients except the water.
- Add the water little at a time, kneading into a firm dough.
- Cover the dough and set aside for 15 minutes or more.
- Divide the dough into about 40 equal parts.
- Take each part of the dough and make a flat ball shape. Roll them into 2 inch circles.
- Prick each mathri with a fork in 5 to 6 places, so the mathris do not puff when frying.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium heat.
- The frying pan should have atleast 1 1/2 inch of oil.To check if the oil is ready, put a small piece of dough in the oil. The dough should make the oil sizzle and come up slowly.
- Fry a few matris at a time. Make sure to place just enough mathris to cover the frying oil.
- Fry the mathris until both sides are a light golden-brown.
Tips:
- Mathris can be stored for a couple of months in airtight containers.
- If the mathris are cooked on high heat, they will be soft.
