About Mathri

Mathri is a crunchy, flaky snack originating from North India, especially enjoyed in Rajasthan, Punjab, and Haryana. It is traditionally made by kneading wheat flour with ghee or oil and spices, shaped into discs, and deep-fried until golden and crisp. Mathri is often consumed with pickles, chutneys, or tea, making it a popular savory treat. The snack is fairly energy-dense due to its oil content and provides moderate protein and carbohydrate levels. Sodium content can be significant due to added salt, which is important to consider for sodium-sensitive individuals. Mathri does not contain vitamin B12 or vitamin C and is vegetarian. Common allergens include gluten from wheat flour. It fits well as a snack or teatime accompaniment, contributing to calorie intake and providing some dietary fiber but should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
