A lovely crisp tea time snack.
Matris are basically punjabi in origin but have now permeated every state of India. And because of that there are so many flavors available in the market. While pepper and ajwain (ayamodakam) are the classic flavors, you can choose the flavor your family wants. Example : jeera, red chilly, methi, til. I hear even Garlic matri is in the market. So basically the flavoring is all yours.
This recipe was given to me by Mrs.Shefali Arvind.
Ingredients: (for around 40 matris)
Maida / All purpose flour - 1 cup
Salt to taste
Pepper powder - 1 tbsp
Oil / ghee - 2 heaped tbsp
Oil for deep frying
Method:
Mix together the maida, salt and pepper.
Add the oil / ghee and mix well, so that it resembles bread crumbs.
Now knead a tight dough with just enough water.
Keep covered for half an hour.
Divide dough into 4 portions and roll out each portion thinly.
Use a mould to cut out shapes.
Prick with a fork to prevent it from puffing up.
Deep fry in medium hot oil till golden brown.
Cool and store in air tight containers.
