Methi Rava Mathri Recipe - Suji Khasta Mathri Recipe

Methi Rava Mathri is an Indian savoury fried snack made from flour and spices. Fat is usually added in a good quantity to make it crispy. In this recipe we show a variation in the traditional mathri which is made using single flour - all purpose flour or maida. In this recipe we are using Rava or Semolina. It gives it an extra crunchy taste and it is also healthier than refined flour. Methi or fenugreek leaves are added to enhance flavours.
