Baked Methi Mathri

Cultural Context

Methi Mathri is a traditional Indian snack, often enjoyed with tea or as a festive treat. Originating from North India, these crispy crackers are made with fenugreek leaves (methi), which add a distinctive flavor. Traditionally deep-fried, this baked version offers a healthier alternative while retaining the beloved taste. Methi Mathri is commonly served during festivals and special occasions, making it a popular choice for gatherings and celebrations.
