Ingredients
- 2 Cup All purpose flour
- 1 Cup Peas
- 1/4 Cup Coriander Finely chopped

- 1/2 Tsp Cumin seeds
- 1/2 Tsp Carom seeds
- 3 Green Chili
- 1/4 Tsp Black pepper powder
- 1 Tbsp Chaat masala

Instructions
- Coarsely grind peas and green chilies in a mixing jar.
- In a mixing bowl add all purpose flour, clarified butter and mix them both well.
- Now add cumin seeds, carom seed, black pepper powder, chat masala and salt to taste.
- Now add the coarsely grinded paste of peas and green chilies, and chopped coriander leaves. Knead into a stiff dough and if required add water. Cover it with a plate and set it aside for 5 minutes.
- In a deep bottom pan heat oil for deep frying.
- Meanwhile, ready a chakla, rolling pin and the dough that we prepared.
- Take large portion of dough and smoothen it out between your palms.
- Flatten it out evenly using a rolling pin (like we make chapati, the same way).
- Now using a cookie cutter of your favorite design, place it over the dough sheet and press hard, remove the leftover dough from the stenciled shapes.
- Prick them with a fork so that the mathris come out crunchy and don’t puff up.
- To check the oil is hot enough, slide a mathri piece and when you see the bubbling, that means the temperature is right.
- Add the rest of the star-shaped mathris and fry them. Flipping over and over again cook them evenly until light golden in color.
- Take them out on kitchen towel lined plate.
