- Take all purpose flour, sooji, ajwain and salt in a bowl. Mix well. Then add oil. Mix it by rubbing between your thumb and fingers till everything is incorporated well. It should be look like bread crumbs and if you press it into your palm, it will come together like a crumbly dough. Make tight and stiff dough by adding very little water at a time. Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes. While the dough is resting, take peppercorns in mortar and pestle. Crush them only once or twice. Making mathri recipe: After resting time knead it once again. Divide it into equal portions. Make smooth balls and flatten it slightly between your palm. Now roll it. Now take 3 pieces of peppercorns and arrange them on mathri. Now using rolling pin roll one more time, so it pressed inside the mathri. Now using fork, prick all over the surface, flip it and prick other side as well. Once you have enough mathris rolled for one batch, heat the oil for deep frying in pan on low-medium heat. Slide few mathris in the hot oil. You need to flip them in order to cook from both sides. Drain the excess oil and remove them using slotted spatula. Keep them in the paper towel lined plate. As it cools, it gets crispy.
