What is moringa mathri made of?

It is made from Anveshan khapli atta and moringa powder bound with Anveshan ghee, ajwain, cumin and pepper, then rolled thin and fried into crisp crackers.

Why use khapli atta instead of maida for mathri?

Anveshan khapli atta is an ancient emmer wheat that is fibre-rich and gentler on digestion, giving the mathri a nuttier flavour than refined maida while staying just as flaky.

How many mathris does this recipe make?

It yields about 30 mathris and takes roughly 45 minutes — 20 minutes of prep and 25 minutes of frying.

How do I make mathri extra flaky?

Rub the Anveshan ghee well into the khapli atta until it resembles breadcrumbs, knead a stiff dough with cold water, and fry on low-medium heat so the layers stay crisp.

This wholesome version swaps refined maida for ancient-grain Anveshan khapli atta and folds in nutrient-rich Anveshan moringa powder, with bilona ghee rubbed through the dough for that classic short, flaky bite. Seasoned with ajwain and pepper, it makes a savoury, better-for-you snack — this batch yields around 30 mathris.
