TastyKan Curry imparts a mild savoury note that highlight cumin and chilli while the Turmeric Oleoresin gives the snack a warm yellow shade.

Method :

Melt ghee and keep aside to cool. Combine all-purpose flour, wheat flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well to create an even mixture. Add cumin seeds and kasuri methi and mix again. Blend TastyKan curry and turmeric oleoresin into the cooled ghee, then incorporate this into the flour mixture to form a flaky, breadcrumb-like texture.

Gradually add water, 1–2 tablespoons at a time, and knead into a soft dough. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 25–30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 175°C. Roll and shape the dough, cut into desired shapes, and poke holes on the surface using a fork. Place the shaped Mathari pieces on a baking tray and bake for 8 minutes at 175°C.
