Mathri is a popular, traditional Indian snack originating from North India, often enjoyed as a tea-time treat or festive delicacy. One medium Mathri is typically made from a base of refined flour (maida), seasoned with spices such as carom seeds (ajwain), black pepper, and ghee or oil for flavor and texture. It is deep-fried, resulting in a crispy and flaky texture with a savory taste. While Mathri offers a satisfying crunch and rich flavors, it is high in calories and fats due to its preparation method, making it a less ideal choice for those seeking heart-healthy or weight-conscious options. It provides a small amount of energy and carbohydrates, but its nutrient density is limited. To increase its health quotient, it can be baked or made with whole wheat flour. Enjoyed in moderation, it carries the essence of Indian cuisine and is cherished for its festive and cultural significance.
