    Switching from Deep-fried to Baked Mathri

    Multigrain Baked Methi Mathri is an enhanced and healthy version of the traditional Indian savory crackers called Mathri, which is made of just refined flour and deep-fried. Baking is used as a method of cooking to avoid deep frying, however, some clarified butter is needed to make these crackers soft. When stitching from consumption of deep-fried items to baked recipes, it takes some time to acquire the taste. The good news is that baked mathri can be stored long-term without spoiling, as long as you have the right temperature and moisture conditions.

    Health Benefits of Baked Multigrain Methi Mathri

    Multigrain Baked Methi Mathri recipe uses flours made from seven different healthy, nutritious grains namely wheat, chickpeas, pearl millet, finger millet, sorghum, amaranth, and almond. Together these grains make this recipe high in dietary fiber, proteins, and other nutrients. The addition of fenugreek (methi) gives the crackers a unique flavor and brings other health benefits such as lowering blood cholesterol and reducing the risk of heart disease.

    Good for Lactation Support

    These lactation savory bites aka baked methi mathri are made with all galactagogues ingredients which help in boosting breast milk supply.

    Some Important Tips about Baked Methi Mathri Recipe:

    1. As you will see in the recipe, I have used a combination of different flours to nutritionally enhance the mathri. You may also add other flours such as oats and quinoa flour. Similarly, if you do not have any particular flour other than wheat, you may skip that.
    Different flours, sipces, fenugreek and other ingredients used in making the multigrain baked methi mathri.
    1. Do not compromise with the amount of ghee (fat / mowen) as we are already baking the mathri.
    2. Resting the dough for 30 minutes is necessary to develop the gluten in the dough.
    3. Baking time will vary with the thickness of the mathri. So keep an eye on them. Once little brown from both sides take them out and let them cool down. They would get crunchy after getting cold only.

    • ΒΌ cup Finger millet flour Raagi
    • ΒΌ cup Sorghum flour Jowar
    • ΒΌ cup Amaranth flour Rajgira
    • 1 cup Almond flour

    • 1 cup Ghee Ghee or your choice of oil
    • Β½ cup Milk

    Instructions

    • Mix all the dry ingredients first and then chopped methi leaves. 
    • Now add ghee to your flour mixture and mix. 
    • Mixture should be very crumbly at this point.  Since, I was baking them I didn’t compromise with the amount of ghee (fats/Mowen).
    • Now start adding milk little by little making sure your dough needs to be really stiff. 
    • Knead the dough for 10-15 minutes and keep it aside for 30 minutes. Resting is very important in order to develop the gluten in the dough.

        Deepika, yes you can use dry methi as well. Recently I made a batch with dry methi for a client and they turned out super delicious.

      Great recipe.. is it possible to make the airfryed mathri with only wholemeal atta and besan and almond flour and following same method. will the texture and taste change..since I will be trying it for the first time thought to just use with atta and besan as both these flours are always available. thx

      I followed all the measurements on your recipe page, with following changes. Keeping total amount of flour same, I used multigrain flour, no all purpose flour, I needed some more milk to make dough. I lined up the divided small dough on the paper and pressed them down with wooden bhakhari press. And I used air fryer.. it's super super delicious... thanks for the recipe!!!!!

      The multigrain paratha is so delicious. I used Aashirvaad Atta with Multigrains and it is soft.

      Hi Rupali,

      I tried the methi mathris and they came out very very good. I read each and every step very carefully since it involves so many flours and my first time making it!
      It’s a bery healthy snack item to have in-between meals.
      Must say, your presentation of each and every recipe is so colorful, looks really beautiful and tempting πŸ™‚
      I wanted to post pics of my mathris, but I am unable to in the comments.

      Thank you so much for the recipe.

      Your food spread is awesome! I prepared batch of this baked multigrain mathri by following the recipe. It tastes good & turned crispy but really dry. I used the stated amount of ghee and almond flour. Instead of maida, bajra & jowar, I used oats flour. Rest all the ingredients as stated in the recipe. The mathri I made are slightly thinner compared to the ones in your pics. Did I overbake the mathri? Please advise how can I prevent the mathri from tasting super dry? Thanks...

        Hello Rashmi, sorry that the recipe didn’t come out as expected. Every flour absorption level is different. Since you have added oats flour, the liquid quantity would also modify with that. If Mathris turned out too dry then add a bit more liquid and reduce the baking time. Hope this helps.

      Thanks so much for this great healthy recipe. The texture and color turned out great - crisp, light, melting in the mouth yummy. However, there was an after slight bitterness which should be because of the methi leaves. I added the same amount as mentioned in the recipe. But I will make another batch with little less methi for sure !
