Mathri (Mathi) is an Indian snack. It is a flaky biscuit originating from the western Indian state of Rajasthan. Once a local delicacy, mathi or mathri as it’s often called, is now available in sweet shops all over India. Similar to Namak para, it is made from flour, water, and, optionally, carom seeds. The creation of this snack was influenced by the need for food that will stay edible for days.
