Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Carom seeds (ajwain)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Ghee (melted)
- 0.5 cup Water
- as needed Oil for frying
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk, ground cumin, carom seeds, and salt. Mix well to incorporate all the dry ingredients.
Add the melted ghee to the dry ingredients. Rub it into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles a coarse crumbly texture.
Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead the mixture into a firm dough. You should aim for a consistency similar to traditional mathri dough.
Divide the dough into small, equal portions and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball with your palm to form a small disc about 1/4 inch thick.
Use a fork to prick holes in each disc; this helps the mathris cook evenly and prevents them from puffing up.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, reduce the flame to low-medium and carefully slide in a few mathris, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry on low-medium heat until they turn golden brown and crisp, flipping occasionally to ensure even cooking. This should take about 7-8 minutes per batch.
Remove the mathris from the oil and drain them on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Repeat the frying process for the remaining mathris.
Allow them to cool completely before serving or storing them in an airtight container.
