Rajasthani Mathri

🇮🇳 Indian

Flaky mathri with kasuri methi, the tea companion of North India. Chaotic in the best way: every bite hits a different note. Eat immediately, standing up, ideally with friends.

Prep 26 min Cook 16 min Serves 2 Medium

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Onion1, finely chopped
  • Green Chili1-2, finely chopped
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Fenugreek Seeds1 tsp
  • Lemon1
  • All-Purpose Flour2 cups
  • Chaat Masala1 tsp
  • Roasted Cumin1 tsp
  • Black Pepper1 tsp

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set out everything mise-en-place: this is assembly food, and it moves fast once you start.

  2. 2

    Handle the cooked component with care; the contrast of textures is what makes street food sing.

  3. 3

    Spoon over the chutneys and yogurt in wide ribbons across the whole surface, not the middle.

  4. 4

    Season aggressively — street vendors' hands are heavy with masala, and yours should be too.

  5. 5

    Garnish with the fenugreek seeds, a final dusting of chaat masala and serve within minutes, eating straight from the plate.

Chef's tip

Taste the layers as you build — every bite should surprise.
