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 item to baked recipe, 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

Baked Methi Mathri Method:

1. 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 (fat/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 necessary to develop the gluten in the dough.
2. Divide the dough into small balls and then press them between the palms and arrange them on baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Preheat oven at 375 oF and place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 12 minutes on first side, and then flip and bake for another 10 minutes. 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.
4. Taste a few and transfer the rest to an airtight container for storage.
