    I made these today – substituted wheat flour and semolina for almond flour. They came out perfect. I wish i could attach pictures. Am never frying puris for chaat again. Thank you for the recipe. They stay crispy even 1 hour after filling them. They were crunchy on outside and soft when you took a bite. Just perfect.

    Is it possible to skip milk and knead the dough with water, will it affect the texture or how khasta it becomes?

      Hello Priya, you can easily make these Katoris 2-3 weeks in advance. For even longer shelf life you can store these in refrigerator.

      Yes, definitely. You can bake them in any shape you want. The only thing you may need to adjust the baking time.

      Hello Shailly,

      I am not sure about foil baking cup since those would be really flimsy to work. Not sure if they would be able to keep the weight of Mathri and hold shape. But you can definitely use silicone baking cups, since they are more sturdy.

      Thanks Rupali

    Question. I do not have almond flour… Can I skip that?…. Also… No baking powder is added in ur recipe… Why??

      Hello Nupur,
      Almond flour acts two ways, one it adds the nutritional fact of overall recipe, second being high on fat it adds up the good fat with out adding too much of oil. If you want to skip the almond flour then you need to increase the quantity of mowen(oil) to achieve the khastaness of katoris. I achieved the right texture without adding any baking powder to the recipe, I was not looking for a cakey texture for mathris.
      Thank You

        I don’t have almond flour, so how much more oil (moen )I need to add?

          You can simply skip it and increase 1 tbs of oil in the dough.
