Love this recipe although I make with ghee instead of oil = perfection!

Hi can I add onions or garlic past to these? I’m guessing it would have to be a smooth paste and would replace some of the water. Is this possible do you know?
-
Hi,
Thanks for recipe. I tried it but some they did not come our well. I dont know why my dough was crumbling and i could not make balls and roll it out. The dough was breaking. Is it because of too much oil or that i used room temp oil. Please let me know. I would like to try it again.-Annie

Hi ,

Can i use the same aata for namak pare and mathri and vice versa?

Sapna,
Yes, it will work.

hello manjula,
your mathris were a great success yesterday evening, when i had friends over for a boardgame and wanted something quick to nibble. i’m in germany and did’nt have sooji, so i replaced it by semolina and polenta, which worked nicely. i also tried the samosa recipe – which is also very nice. i’m looking forward to trying out more of your recipes! thank you for sharing them.

Thanks for the Mathri recipe. I tried it today and it came out just perfect!!!
Tons of thanks to you! -
Hello aunty,
Thanks a lot for posting such wonderful recipes and making it easier for beginners like me in cooking field.
I tried your Gujiya recipe yesterday and they turned out great. Now I’ll prepare these as festival of Holi is round the corner too!
I had a quick question for you – Could you specify the measurement of cups in ml as it seems like its different from the ones I got from India.
Look forward for your reply.
Thanks!!

Thank you so much for the recipe. I found it interesting and so tried myself at home and the result was too good! I really like the taste and the crispy taste in the mathri and that too can be made very easily at home.

Dear Manjula ji
This is the website i am looking for longtime Your receipes are excellent and the way you are cooking is highly appreciable I prepared panipuri looking after your receipe and it came very well and i was appreciated by my son who loves it
Thanks a lot -
hi aunty
ur snacks r too good, but for the gravies u have not used onions at all, i dont know but i think all the gravies are the same having hing, ajwain and tomatoes please give us some variations in gravies rather that just the same method for every dish-
I guess she is jain and so she does not use onions. You can add the onions as you like.

Can u tell us in urdu too?
-
Mariam, spoken urdu and hindi are very similar, just in writing do they look very different. Also they have a lot of words in common, so the hindi terms used here are very likely to be understood by an urdu speaker.
However, is there anything in particular you would like in urdu?

Hi All,
Just for a change you can add to the above ingredients dried ‘kasoori methi’, crush them in your palms and add them to the dried ingredients. You can get it from any Indian store, they are dried fenugreek leaves. It will give you good taste and aroma.-
To make a variation with kasoori methi, how much kasoori methi is recommended with respect to the proportion of other main ingredients given by Manjula ji?

Hello auntyji,
As a newly wed with a husband who loves good home made food, i have become an ardent follower of ur recipes. Can u please suggest/recommend a food processor/ mixie that would also help in making dry masalas, blending, grinding? Should we get an indian mixie over the ones available here in usa like cusiart/oster/kitchenaid??? please help. Thanks.-
Hello Archana,
I dont know any mixi witch will do every thing.

Hi Manjula,
I tried the mathris…and what a coincidence that Mmmmm wanted to know if it can be done with wholemeal flour. Well i didn’t have suji flour so i susbstituted with wholemeal and it came up perfect as well….my daughters made it with me and were delighted at the wonderful taste. We ate it with chatpata channa raita. It was very filling. Auntie you have wonderful recipes and i will continue learning from you. You make it look so easy..thank you for sharing your knowledge.
-
Hello
Can these be made with wholemeal flour instead of white flour?
It’s my first visit, I’ve been browsing for about 40 mins…I never want to leave ;-)…I’m going to pick one of your recipes each week, a new one each time until I run out.
I’ve been planning to make ghee for a while now. But can anything be done with the milk solids, or are they waste?
Thank-you for a wonderful site.
-
Hi Manjula Aunty,
I tried many of your recipes & all of them were just gr8, u r such a nice teacher :). I tried mathris, they taste very gud but are very hard to break not crisp, pls guide me where i went wrong.
Thank you for all ur recipes.

hi
tried it ……….it is so easy to make .My ten year old daughter loves this since she can do it as well ………she loves to help me .
thank you -
Thank you so much for your recipes and videos. I have a question though.. for Mathris — ingredient list says 1/4th cup of sooji but on the video you say 1/2 cup sooji and for water — on the list it is 3/4 cup but on the video you add 1/2 cup, so which is should I follow ?
Thanks
Damini-
Hello Damini,
Thank you for pointing out mistake, I am correcting the recipe sooji should be 1/2 cup, for water if you noticed I start with 1/2 cup and add some more. Please add water as needed.-
Thank you so much Manjulaji. I will try this recipe today !

hi,
making these mathris is a breeze with the puri-making press. my 4 year old daughter presses all the mathris (as she loves to eat them too) & makes cooking fun..
making bigger batches for handy snacks this way is faster.
what can be more tempting than mathris always within hands reach with mango pickles…
-
Finding alternatives to deep frying is a challenge even in “American” cooking because frying gives a crispiness and crunchiness to the texture that we are used to with certain foods – mathris, kachoris, samosas, french fries, onion rings, and so forth.
I look forward to baked alternatives also.
-
I am working on some baked recipes
-
hello aunty,
Please tell us how to bake mathri instead of frying. My husband doesn’t like fried stuff.. Thank u. -

Dear manju didi i love this site and i tried the gol gappas (pani puri ) but after few min they become soft my husband liked them too much when i served but after few min they turned soft don,t no why what should i do to make them perfect
-
Dear Manjula aunty,
I made your mathris yesterday and they are perfect!
Bahut, bahut dhanyavad 🙂
Thank you, Jaya -
You’re Welcome 🙂

THANX JAYA JI YOU REALLY HELPED TO CLEAR MY DOUBT
-
Chitra,
See Manjula’s note above under “Tips”. Oil that is too hot will make matrhis soft.
One would think hot oil will make something crispy, but in the case of things like mathris and kachoris, the oil heat must be more like a medium high heat. The mathris should not rise too quickly when you place them in the oil. They should rise, but not instantly like if cooking puri. Frying mathris requires a little patience (and practice). Hope this helps. -
hi aunty
what should i do to make crispy mathris -
Hello Tam, roll the mathri thinner to use for papri chat.
-
Hi aunty.Wonderful recipes .
Can we use these mathris as papri for papri chaat ???Thank u in advance.
-
I have never tried, however, you have read my mind as I am experimenting with baked Mathris.
-
Can we have a baked version instead of deep fried?
-
