About Mathiya

Mathiya is a thin, crisp snack made from moth bean or urad dal flour, originating from Gujarati cuisine in India. It is seasoned with spices such as chili powder, garlic, and pepper, offering a savory, spicy taste. Mathiya is typically deep-fried, which gives it its signature crunch but can increase its fat content. Its key ingredient, moth bean flour, is rich in protein and dietary fiber, supporting digestion and muscle health. Mathiya provides essential nutrients like iron and potassium, which aid in maintaining energy levels and electrolyte balance. However, the frying process adds significant calories and fats, making portion control important for those monitoring their diet. Traditionally enjoyed during festive occasions, it is a flavorful snack choice that delivers plant-based protein while requiring mindful enjoyment due to its oil content.
