Crispy, flaky methi mathri with a cup of ginger tea and a novel by my favorite author is my idea of a great evening. Methi mathri is one of my favorite tea-time snack. I got addicted to this snack while living in Delhi and some habits just stay with you no matter where you are.
I’m glad I learnt making this snack from one of my neighbors during my college days. This recipe easily makes 12-15 mathris..
Firstly, we need to prepare the dough..
Do not forget to prick the flattened dough or it will fluff up while frying..
Read the complete recipe before trying it out. So, sharing a detailed Methi mathri recipe and hope you all enjoy it with your cup of tea! You can also try out these Moong dal pakodas from my blog.

Fold it from one end and then fold it again to shape it as a triangle. Now prick a clove in the center. Refer above pictures.
