Baked Methi Mathri

Crispy Baked Methi Mathri – the baked version of the traditional mathri is easy to make and a healthier alternative to the fried ones!

Basically anything spicy, tangy can be termed as chaat. It’s also a loosely used term for Indian street food tike aloo tikki, golgappa etc. Talking about chaat makes my mouth water! I can never have enough.

This fruit chaat has fruits yet it’s called a chaat because it’s spicy and tangy and used a blend of spices known as chaat...
