Oats and wheat flour sweet mathri made with jaggery are soft, crunchy, and delicious snack recipe that is perfect, a guilt-free snack for everyone with a cup of tea in winters.
Sweet and savory mathri is a popular snack recipe in the northern part of India and has great importance during the festive season. They are rich in energy as well as nutritious snack for kids and an ideal traveling food. These mathri serves best with a cup of hot tea or coffee.
Traditionally mathri are made with all-purpose flour or maida that is not good for our health. But, here I have given a healthy twist and guilt-free eating version to sweet mathri with the addition of oats, wheat flour, and jaggery. These are easy to made and delicious in taste. Oats and wheat flour mathri can prepare at any time of the year, making them in bulk and store for weeks in an airtight container to relish them later.

How to make jaggery syrup to make dough for mathri
1. In a saucepan, add water and jaggery(broken into small pieces) and start cooking on low flame. After 1-2 minutes, when water becomes hot and jaggery starts becoming soft. Then with a spatula, mix it with water till it completely dissolves in it. Put aside and let it cool down.
How to make dough for sweet mathri made with oats and wheat flour
2. Grind oats in a grinder jar till it becomes a fine powder. Now take a big bowl, add wheat flour, oats flour, saunf powder, black pepper powder, ginger powder, and oil(I have used sunflower oil). Mix well till the mixture becomes like bread crumbs.
3. Now add jaggery syrup little by little to make a stiff dough. Give a rest of 5 minutes to the dough. Don’t leave it for long otherwise, it may become dry and difficult to work with.
4. Then divide the dough into big size balls and start rolling them into a round shape with the help of a greased rolling pin. If the dough balls get crumbled, put them together with hands and roll gently to give a round shape of 1/2 cm thickness. Now prick it with a fork and cut into the desired shape. I have cut into a round shape with the help of a cookie cutter. Do the same with whole dough and collect these round pieces in a tray.
5. Then heat oil in a pan on low flame, when oil becomes hot, drop these round mathri pieces. Don’t touch them for at least the first one minute. They are very soft at that time and can break. After 1 minute, gently flip them and do it occasionally for even frying.
6. It will take 5-6 minutes on low flame to become golden and crisp. Then remove them from the oil with the help of a strainer and put them on a plate for cooling down. Cool them completely before storing them in an airtight container.
7. Enjoy your healthy and delicious mathri with a cup of tea or coffee and serve to guests during the festival time.
