Sweet Mathri is a sweet and crispy snack which is liked all over India. There are many types of Mathri like plain Mathri, masala Mathri, methi Mathri, sweet Mathri. It can be stored for many weeks. It is taken to eat during travel. Here I am making sweet Mathri which is very tasty to eat and also looks very attractive.
Ingredients:-
- Refined flour- 2 cups
- Ghee- 1/4 cup
- Salt- a pinch
- Baking powder- 1/2 tsp
- Water- for kneading
Method:-
Take 2 cups of refined flour in a bowl
Add all the ingredients (from Moin's recipe) in it. Ghee for this,
Add a pinch of salt, baking powder and knead the dough with hot water. Cover it and keep it aside for 1/2 hour.
The dough should neither be wet nor tight. It is necessary to add 1/4th of the amount of flour so that the mathri becomes crispy.
For syrup:-
Sugar- 1/2 cup
Water- 1/2 cup
Cardamom powder- 1 tsp
Nutmeg powder- 1/2 tsp
Saffron- few seeds
Food colour- 1/4 tsp
Method:-
In a pan, heat 1/2 cup water and 1/3 cup sugar and add all the ingredients (cardamom powder, nutmeg powder, food colour, saffron) in it.
After sugar melts, cook for 2 minutes and then turn off the gas
Now to make mathri, make the dough soft and cut it into equal size pieces
Cut it and prepare it
Then take a dough ball and roll it to make a peda
Its size is bigger than a puri and smaller than a roti then put it on this roti Apply ghee with a brush
Sprinkle some flour on it and make thin cuts at some distances or by leaving edges with the help of a knife
Roll it slowly with the help of hands
Then we will pull it a little and rotate it
And we will fold it and press it with our hands
On the other side, heat ghee and deep fry the mathri on low flame
Let it become golden brown from both the sides
Then take them out and put them in hot sugar syrup
Take them out after 1 minute
In the same way prepare all the mathris
Keep them in sugar syrup for a longer time Do not keep it in the refrigerator otherwise it becomes soft
Now take it out in a plate
Garnish it as per your choice
Then you can store it in an airtight container and take it out and eat or feed it whenever you want
