About Mathri
Mathri is a traditional Indian snack, originating from the northern regions of the country. Typically made from refined wheat flour (maida), semolina, and flavored with spices like carom seeds (ajwain), cumin, and black pepper, Mathri is a crispy, flaky biscuit. It is often fried in oil, though baked versions also exist, making it a convenient snack for long storage. Mathri is popular during festivals like Diwali and as an accompaniment to tea. While its ingredients offer some benefits, such as the spices aiding digestion, Mathri is predominantly high in carbohydrates and fats due to the refined flour and frying process. This makes it calorie-dense and less ideal for frequent consumption if you’re monitoring fat intake or aiming for a highly nutritious diet. Opting for baked varieties or incorporating whole-grain flours can make Mathri a slightly healthier alternative for satisfying savory cravings.
