Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp Sooji (semolina) for crispiness
  • 3 tbsp Oil or ghee for moyan
  • 1 tsp Ajwain (carom seeds)
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper, crushed
  • 1 tsp Salt or as needed
  • 1/3 cup Warm water adjust as needed
  • 2 tbsp Oil for baking or shallow frying

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Rolling board and pin
  • Pan or oven tray

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, add whole wheat flour, sooji, ajwain, black pepper, salt and mix well.
  2. Add ghee or oil and rub it into the flour using your fingertips until it forms a crumbly texture.
  3. Slowly add warm water and knead into a stiff dough. Rest it for 10 minutes.
  4. Divide the dough into small balls and roll each one into a thick, small disc.
  5. Prick the discs with a fork to prevent puffing.
  6. For baking: Preheat oven to 180°C and bake for 15–18 minutes, flipping once halfway.
  7. For shallow frying: Heat a little oil in a pan and cook mathris on low flame until both sides turn crisp and golden.
  8. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Notes

Add kasuri methi for extra flavour. Rest the dough well for crisp mathris.
