Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp semolina (sooji)
  • 3 tbsp melted ghee
  • 2 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)
  • 3 tbsp kasoori methi (dry fenugreek leaves)
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 3/4 cup chilled water
  • 1/2 tsp peppercorns
  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions

  • To begin, take whole wheat flour in a large bowl. Add in the sooji.
  • Next, add in salt, ajwain, and kasoori methi. Mix well.
  • Add in melted ghee. Rub it in until you get a breadcrumb consistency.
  • Knead it into a tight dough using cold water. Do not knead it too much. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
  • Once it is rested, divide it into equal portions depending on the size of mathris you prefer and shape them into balls.
  • Press down the ball between your palms. Add a peppercorn in the middle and press again.
  • Heat oil for deep frying. Add in the mathris a few at a time on low heat. Fry until the bubbles stop appearing and the mathris are golden brown in color.
  • The Khasta Methi Mathris are ready to serve. Enjoy with a cup of tea and pickle.
