My mom used to make lots of fali mathri and packed for my brother when he used to stay in hostel. These fali mathris were my favorite and i used to make chat of mathri, curd, tamarind chutney and green chutney. Chats are an all time favorite of mine. These can be made with refined flour or wheat flour or in combination. My mom also added suji to make them more crisp. You can add different spices as per your choice, we keep it limited to salt, pepper, kasuri methi, ajwain and shah zeera. This is no doubt a must try recipe.
