Instructions: To begin making the Pheki Mathai Recipe, first mix the dry ingredients – maida and sooji together.Add the ghee to the mixture and rub between your fingers till the dough turns crumbly and resembles breadcrumbs.Gradually add warm water, little at a time, while bringing the dough together into a ball. Knead for 3-4 minutes till the dough stops sticking and comes together into a neat ball.Cover with a muslin cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.After 30 minutes, divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Make balls and keep aside for 5 minutes.Now roll the mathris out by rolling each ball into a disc about 1/4 inch thick and 5-6 inch diameter. Poke the rolled out mathri with fork or knife so that it doesn’t fluff up while frying.Next, to deep fry the mathri, heat sufficient oil in a kadai. Fry the mathris for 2-3 minutes on each side till golden brown. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and keep aside to cool.Allow the mathris to cool completely, and then store them in an airtight container.Serve Pheki Mathri Recipe as a tea time snack along with Aam Ka Achaar Recipe and a hot cup of Masala Chai
