Matthi is a crispy, savory snack originating from Indian cuisine, traditionally enjoyed with tea or as a festive treat. Made from refined flour, semolina, and spices like carom seeds or cumin, it is seasoned for a flavorful bite and often deep-fried, though baked versions are gaining popularity for health-conscious consumers. While its crunchy texture and rich taste make it a favorite, matthi is typically high in calories and fat due to the frying process. It provides some energy and satiation but lacks significant nutrients and fiber. Variations may incorporate whole wheat flour or seeds for a slightly healthier twist. This traditional delicacy is loved for its satisfying crunch and is commonly associated with celebratory occasions or as a comfort food. Moderation is key when enjoying matthi, especially if choosing the fried version.
