Methi Mathri is an Indian snack usually made in many households. It is crispy, tasty and ideal to serve with tea or during mid-day.
It’s ideal to store these snacks at home, children crave quite often and they make good snacks with masala chai. It is ideal to carry during travelling.
I have many snack recipes on my blog, from crispy avalakki (poha chiwda) to nippattu and kodbole. these are essential during festivals.
