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!
