Mathri (matthi) is a very famous north indian teatime snack. It is usually deep fried cracker but, I like it baked. Mathri comes in various flavors too (depending upon the spices that is used to make it). This goes well with any chutney (mint-pudina is my favorite) and can also be served with any pickle (mango or lime is the best combination.)

1. Take butter and oil in a bowl and heat it in microwave for 45 seconds. 2. Now, mix all the dry ingredients in a big bowl and add heat oil and butter. 3. Rub the mix using light hand to bind it together. 4. Add little water at a time and bind the flour into a stiff dough (dough will be rough in texture)/ 5. Now wrap the dough with a cling wrap (plastic sheet) and place it aside for 30 mins. 6. Preheat oven in 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie tray/ baking tray with parchment paper or grease the baking tray using some oil. After 30 minutes: 7. Grease a clean flat surface with some oil spray. 8. Divide the dough into two halves and roll each half into a 1/4 thick flat disc. 9. Using a cookie cutter, cut the rolled dough into desire shape (Mathri is mostly round, so I used round shaped cutter). 10. Transfer these cookies to the baking trays and place it in the oven for 12-15 minutes. 11. Flip the cookies half way and bake them until they turn crisp and light soft in touch. 12. Transfer the baked cookies to a cooling rack and allow them to cool for 15 minutes and store it in air tight container.
