Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour to a mixing bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of semolina and 1 teaspoon of salt to the flour.

Mix the dry ingredients together.

Add 2 tablespoons of oil and mix again until crumbly.

Gradually add water to form a firm dough, similar to dough for puris.

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth and firm.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Prepare a sugar syrup by boiling 1/2 cup sugar with 1/3 cup water and adding cardamom powder for flavor.

After the dough has rested, divide it into three parts and roll out each part into a thin sheet.

Brush oil on the rolled-out dough, fold it, and cut it into strips to form flower shapes.

Fry the flower shapes in oil over low to medium heat until golden brown.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

For the sweet version, dip the fried mathris in the cooled sugar syrup.
