Baked Whole Wheat Methi Matri (Fenugreek Crackers)

Sharing is caring!

Matri is a very popular tea time snack in India. I still love to dunk in my matri’s in tea and have it. But it is deep fried and a bit time consuming to make specially if you are alone. I always wanted to try my hands on Baked matri, but for reasons unknown to me kept on postponing it. This time I decided to make this delicious and a guilt free Baked Whole Wheat Methi Matri.

The recipe is same to my earlier recipe on Namkeen Matri, with some added flavour. I added some dried and crushed fenugreek leaves to the mixture and loved it. Also I generally prepare matri using whole wheat flour, so this Baked Whole Wheat Methi Matri is made using 100 percent whole wheat flour.

One can use any shape as required, like circle, square, diamond etc. To give it a festive spirit and more appealing to the little ones, I made them in a star shape. Kid’s love this and they are happy to munch on them so why not experiment a bit and make eating time a bit of fuss free.
