cups All Purpose flour (plain flour or maida), 1/2Â cup sooji
(semolina flour), 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ajwain, 4 tablespoons
oil, 3/4 cup lukewarm water (use as needed),Oil to fry
How to make
Mix
all the ingredients except the water. Add the water little at a time,
kneading into a firm dough. Cover the dough and set aside for 15 minutes
or more. Divide the dough into about 40 equal parts. Take each part of
the dough and make a flat ball shape. Roll them into 2 inch circles.
Prick
each mathri with a fork in 5 to 6 places, so the mathris do not puff
when frying. Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium heat. The frying pan
should have atleast 1 1/2 inch of oil.To check if the oil is ready, put
a small piece of dough in the oil. The dough should make the oil sizzle
and come up slowly.
Fry a few matris at a time. Make sure to
place just enough mathris to cover the frying oil. Fry the mathris until
both sides are a light golden-brown.
