Namaskar! Welcome to Nishamadhulika.com.
Today we will prepare plain flour sweet mathri without sugar syrup.
Mathri is simple to prepare as well as tasty too.
You can serve the mathri at tea time or whenever you feel like having it.
So let's start preparing sweet mathri.
Plain flour - 2 cups.
Semolina - 1/2 cup.
Sesame seed - 1/4 cup.
Sugar - 1/3 cup.
Melted clarified butter - 1/3 cup.
Clarified butter for frying.
For mathri we will prepare the dough.
To knead the dough we will use sugar dissolved in water.
Mix sugar and water to make the solution.
If we use powdered sugar then we can directly add it to the plain flour.
In a pan add sugar and 1/4 cup of water.
If we heat the solution then sugar will melt easily.
Heat the pan for a while until the sugar melts in water.
Sugar has completely melted into water. Let the sugar syrup cool for a while.
Now we will prepare the dough.
In a bowl add plain flour, sesame seeds, semolina and clarified butter.
Mix all the ingredients well.
Now add sugar syrup to the ingredients and knead the dough harder than the dough for pooris.
If water is required while kneading you can add 1-2 tbsp of water.
The dough is finally ready and it is hard as well.
To prepare dough we took 1/4 cup of sugar syrup and 3 tbsp water.
That means we have used water less than 1/2 a cup of water.
Cover the dough for 15 - 20 mins.
By then the dough will ready for preparing mathri.
After 15 mins the dough has risen properly. Slightly press the dough.
Take a portion of dough and roll them into small balls.
Roll the balls and keep aside.
If the dough is too hard then you can add water and knead again to make it smooth.
We have made the dough balls now we will prepare mathri.
You can flatten the dough by slightly pressing it and then roll it using a rolling pin.
Also you can flatten them by pressing them between the palm.
Keep the mathri thick and don't make it too thin.
Prepare 6-7 mathri and keep aside on a plate. Then we will fry them.
Meanwhile heat the clarified butter.
Mathri is ready for frying and the butter is hot enough to fry them.
To check the clarified butter put a small piece of dough in it.
You can see the bubbles appearing on the dough, that means mathri can be fried.
To fry the mathri we do not require extremely hot clarified butter.
The clarified butter must be medium hot.
Make sure to fry them on low - medium flame.
Now we will fry mathri in clarified butter.
You can fry mathri in refined oil instead of clarified butter.
Flip the mathri when it is cooked from the bottom.
Fry the mathri from both the sides until golden brown.
Transfer the gloden brown mathri on a plate.
Fry all the mathri likewise.
Transfer gloden brown mathri on a plate.
To fry mathri we require 5-6 mins.
Crispy sweet mathri is finally ready. They are really very tasty.
With 2 cup plain flour we can prepare 30 - 35 mathri.
Sweet mathri is very easy to prepare but we need to be careful while preparing.
While kneading do not add sugar in excess as it will result in the disintegration of mathri while frying.
Clarified butter must not be cold else mathri will break.
And if the clarified butter is too hot then mathri will turn brown from outside but it will not be crisp from inside.
It will be remain soft from inside.
So keep all these points in mind while preparing.
Store them in containers after they cool down properly. Use it within two months.
