Masala Mathri Recipe, Khajali Recipe

Crispy masala Mathri

As the festival of colours-Holi is coming soon and I have a List of sweet and savoury to make before holi,so first I made a batch of crispy Masala Khaajali which I shaped in the form of chaklis ,Mathri are the favorite snack of North India and have so many versions of making mathris.

I love Punjabi masala mathri in which coriander seeds and pomegranate seeds are added for the taste and crunch. You can be as innovative as you can while making mathri,just remember to add enough moyan/oil in the dough to give crispness and flakiness to mathri and fry it on low heat.

On every holi I always makes khoya ki Gujhiya,  Gulab jamun,  Pista barfi and Aloo Bujiya sev  and on family demand the Kesariya thandai is also a must made item,which is made in a big batch to serve all the guest and family coming  to wish and play Holi at our place.

I am sending this Masala Mathri recipe to my blogger friend Sonal for her event-Holi collection recipes on her blog-simplyvegetarian777,you can check her blog for so many interesting Holi recipes.
