fenugreek leaves

🥗Healthier: spinach

💰Cheaper: dried fenugreek leaves

black sesame seeds

🥗Healthier: white sesame seeds

💰Cheaper: none

White sesame seeds are easier to find and have a milder flavor.

Mix wheat flour, semolina, salt, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, ajwain, cumin seeds, and black pepper powder in a large bowl.

Add 1 tsp of ghee and rub it into the flour mixture until crumbly.

Incorporate chopped fenugreek leaves into the mixture.

Gradually add water to form a firm dough, kneading until smooth.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into small balls and roll each into a thin circle.

Prick the rolled circles with a fork to prevent puffing during frying.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until hot.

Fry the mathris in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Allow to cool completely before serving.
