This Baked Moong Dal Mathri is the ultimate guilt-free tea-time companion — crispy, spiced, and baked to golden perfection. A twist on the classic mathri, made with soaked moong dal, whole wheat flour, and a touch of ghee — all air-fried or oven-baked with zero compromise on flavour.
🌿 Ingredients:
• ½ cup split yellow moong dal (150g)
• 2 cups water (to soak)
• 2 tbsp semolina
• 2 tbsp rice flour
• ¼ tsp carom seeds (ajwain)
• ¼ tsp nigella seeds (kalonji)
• ½ tsp crushed black pepper
• 2 tbsp dry fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi)
• ¼ tsp asafoetida (hing)
• ¼ tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp salt
• 1–2 tbsp ghee
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 tbsp whole wheat flour + 2 tbsp ghee (for slurry)
• Whole wheat flour (for dusting)
• Oil (for brushing)
🔪 Method:
Wash ½ cup split yellow moong dal and soak in 2 cup water for 3–4 hours.
Blend soaked dal into a smooth paste.
Add semolina, rice flour, all spices, ghee, and moong dal paste into a bowl. Mix well.
Add whole wheat flour and knead into a soft dough. Rest for 10–15 minutes.
Make a slurry using 2 tbsp wheat flour and 2 tbsp ghee.
Roll dough into a chapati, brush with slurry, roll it up, and slice into pieces.
Flatten each piece and roll again slightly.
Prick with a fork, place on air fryer or baking tray, brush with oil.
Bake at 160°C (320°F) for 15 minutes in air fryer or oven.
Let cool & serve with hot tea or coffee!
