Method

First mix the dry ingredients together with oil and blend it properly, the dough should form a loosen shape when pressed hard between palms.

Now add 2 tablespoons of water at a time the dough should be hard at the end not soft and mushy. The soft dough will make the mathri not so crispy.

Divide the dough in small parts and roll it , the mathri could also be cut out from a big rolled dough or it can be indiviually rolled.

Poke each flattended dough with fork so that the mathri dont puff up and retain its crispiness.

Now take a heavy and deep bottom pan heat one cup vegetable oil slowly in medium high flame. Dip the mathri's one by one and fry them until crisp and golden brown in color.

Let them cool completely before storing in an air tight compartment.
Enjoy!
