Baked Methi Muthiya(Savory Fenugreek Crackers)
Finally I got to bake something(after moving to this apartment) in the oven which does not have any feature except the knob to set the temperature :) It doesn't have these features-timer, light, preheating facility, display screen, clock, sound indicator, touch keypad and so on. It basically has nothing. I really wonder if it is an oven or some storage space. But I dared to bake something today. My husband is out of town and he has taken the car. It's raining cats and dogs! What else can you expect me to do at home? So I went ahead and baked Methi Muthiyas. I took the recipe from Ashwini's blog and modified it a little bit.
Ingredients:
Besan Flour(gram flour)-1/2 cup
Wheat flour-1/2 cup
Salt
Pepper
Red Chilli powder-1/4 tsp
Hing(Asafoetida)-a pinch(optional)
Kasuri Methi(dried Fenugreek leaves)-1/2 tsp
Oil-2 tbsp
Method:
Preheat oven to 350F.
Mix all the ingredients except oil with little water to form a dough. Add oil to the dough and knead well. Divide the dough into small balls and place them on a greased baking pan. Flatten them into thin disks(less than 1/4 inch). Bake for 10 minutes. Take the pan out and turn over the muthiyas. Bake until crisp and golden brown(10 minutes approximately).

Hi Mahimaa..
ReplyDeletethese look delicious... reminds me of the thattai that my mom makes :)
Yay! The oven is finally up! So we can get to see more baked stuff from you now I guess.
ReplyDeleteThese are great, are they crunchy? When I make similar things... the center tends to be a little soft and the corners very crispy. How did it turn out for you?
never heard of this before! must have smelled nice while baking :)

ReplyDeleteI always thought that the muthiyas were the steamed balls that were added to undhiyu... didn't know they could be made into crackers like these - nice even colour.
