Atta Mathri Recipe | Layered Nimki Recipe | Mathri recipe with step by step video. Learn how to make crisp layered mathri at home.
Mathiya or mathri is a famous snack from North India. It is a very popular snack, specially made during festivals like Diwali, Holi, and also made as savory snack to munch along with evening tea. Mathari snacks come specially handy during long trips when you need something energetic and healthy to munch frequently.
There are many versions of making Mathris. Today I have made layered mathri or nimki with atta or wheat flour, spiced with cumin, peppers and carom seeds. This fried khasta or crisp mathri recipe is a must try. I have also tried to bake these matris a few times as an alternate to frying, but did not get the full success. So I finally stick to the same old fried version for most authentic taste. After frying, once mathris get cold, pack them in an airtight container, they will be fine for 1-2 months.
I have also posted other crispy recipes like Macaroni Crispies, Soya Crispies, Masala Peanuts and many more. Do explore them all.
