Take 1 cup of all-purpose flour in a bowl.

Add 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp caraway seeds, and 1 pinch of baking soda to the flour.

Add 25 grams of oil to the mixture.

Mix all ingredients nicely.

Gradually add water while kneading to form a hard dough, adding little water at a time.

Knead the dough for 4-5 minutes until it gets soft.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes for fermenting.

After 20 minutes, knead the dough again.

Divide the dough into small parts and roll them into balls.

Roll each ball into a thick disc for mathri.

Prick the mathri on both sides with a knife to prevent puffing.

Heat oil in a pan over medium-low flame.

Gently place the mathri in the hot oil for frying.

Fry the mathri on medium-low flame, flipping sides until they turn golden brown, about 6-7 minutes.

Remove the fried mathri from the oil and drain on paper towels.
