Mathri

Mathri is an Indian snack. It is a flaky biscuit originating from the north western Indian state of Rajasthan. Once a local delicacy, mathi or mathri as it's often called, is now available in sweet shops all over India. Similar to Namak para, it is made from flour, water, and, optionally, carom seeds. The creation of this snack was influenced by the need for food that would remain edible for days. The finished products are often stored in big jars at room temperature. Mathri is a popular snack to take along during travels.
