wheat Mathri

Wheat Mathri
Mathri is one of the best and prominent snack which is preferred with tea.Specially we Indians love to have some munchies with our cup of chai ;-) and mathri is the most fancied choice.
Mathri is normally made up of all purpose flour which is available in stores but APF is not good for health,specially when its in fried form.This mathri is deep fried but it is made up of whole wheat and semolina(Suji)and its very much better than store bought because it is hygienic and fried in our regular refined oil which we use for our daily cooking.

  I have added some light spices also to make this mathri more tasty. Some people like sweet mathri also but i use to buy sweet mathri specially on Indian festival " karvachauth".But normally i don't like to eat sweet mathri I always prefer salted one.
This Mathri is crunchy and the mild flavor of spices adds a yum flavor to it.This is a perfect crunchy munchy option for your evening tea and you can also take this with your morning tea also as its gives a good filling to your empty stomach.

Sometimes we do get sudden craving to eat something specifically in evening but we do not want to opt for roti or sabzi ,so having this mathri is an appropriate decision to control our hunger pangs :-)So try out this recipe which is the best option for snacking-
