To begin making the Pheki Mathai Recipe, first mix the dry ingredients - maida and sooji together.

Add the ghee to the mixture and rub between your fingers till the dough turns crumbly and resembles breadcrumbs.

Gradually add warm water, little at a time, while bringing the dough together into a ball. Knead for 3-4 minutes till the dough stops sticking and comes together into a neat ball.

Cover with a muslin cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Make balls and keep aside for 5 minutes.

Now roll the mathris out by rolling each ball into a disc about 1/4 inch thick and 5-6 inch diameter. Poke the rolled out mathri with fork or knife so that it doesn't fluff up while frying.

Next, to deep fry the mathri, heat sufficient oil in a kadai. 

Fry the mathris for 2-3 minutes on each side till golden brown. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and keep aside to cool.

Allow the mathris to cool completely, and then store them in an airtight container.
