Equipment

Ingredients

  • 150 gram Whole Wheat Flour (atta)
  • 50 gram gram flour (besan)
  • 2 tablespoon semolina (suji/rava)
  • 30 ml vegetable refined oil
  • 125 ml ice cold water
  • 1 teaspoon Chaat Masala
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder (jeera powder)
  • 1 teaspoon achar masala (pickle masala powder)
  • 1 teapsoon carom seeds (ajwain)
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoon sesame seeds (white til)

Instructions

  • Combine flour, semolina, seasoning, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix nicely with a spoon or fingers.
  • Pour oil and rub the flour mixture using your fingers to bring them together. The flour mixture should resemble fine bread crumbs
  • To bind dough, add ice cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and knead a stiff yet pliable dough. Knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Keep the dough covered aside for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius for 10 minutes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray or brush it with cooking oil.
  • Divide the dough into two equal parts. Pick one ball at a time, and roll flat into ¼ inch thickness like a big sheet or roti.
  • Using a pizza or cookie cutter, cut squares. Prick each mathri with a fork and brush with oil. Sprinkle seeds on each mathri.
  • Bake them in a preheated oven, flipping once in between for even browning from both sides. It takes 20 - 25 minutes. Turn them halfway through for even browning and cooking.
  • Transfer the baked mathri to a wire rack to cool down. Once cooled, the mathri tends to crisp a little more.
  • Serve Baked Mathri immediately for storage in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Store baked mathri only once it cools down entirely; else, it will turn soggy. 
  • In an airtight container, baked mathri remains crisp and fresh for ten days at room temperature, even in hot and humid climates. 
  • You can add seasoning to the baked mathri according to personal preference.
