    Freshly Baked Methi Crackers

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Fresh Methi Crackers Baked ( Baked Methi Mathri) is a healthier baked version of the Indian savoury cracker Methi Mathri.

    A Mathri is a deep-fried snack that is made from refined flour.

    However, here I have used whole wheat flour and chickpea flour and baked the mathri.

    The addition of fenugreek or methi leaves increases the dietary fibre and flavour of the mathri. But then consuming methi has its own benefits like it lowers cholesterol, and controls diabetics to name two.

      Methi flavors in any form makes me jump with joy. I have been making methi mathris. But thesebaked methi crackers are so alluring since they are sans frying. Methi in the images look like small embellishments on the crackers which cannot go unnoticed. I am all for it!!
