“ Having just celebrated Raksha Bandhan and now Janmashtami to be followed by Ganesh Chaturthi, the festive season is upon us …. i.e celebrations and get to gethers with families and friends… and a lot of eating all through the day. A good snack to make and have at home whether you have guests or not is Chatpata Mathri. It stays crisp and fresh for several days, goes well with both hot and cold beverages and is a great in between meals snack. Try making it sometime and I am sure it will soon become a regular habit.”
Ingredients:
• 2 cups refined flour (Maida)
• 2 heaped tbsps. Pure ghee
• 1tsp cumin seed (jeera)
