    Mathri

    October 23, 2014 By Debjani Leave a Comment

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe
    Introduction for Mathri!!!!! Tough enough... 😆 Actually Mathri required no introduction … Mathri is a signature  Indian flattened spicy cracker mostly served with Tea / Coffee ….
     
    Though available easily in Indian grocery stores but I love to prepare them at home especially during Bijaya Dashami , Diwali, Holi or in other auspicious occasions or sometimes in no occasions as Husband man loves Mathris a lot along with his tea ! Even my little one loves to chew Mathri!! So I take no risk to purchase  from market but prefer to make those at home ….
