• This recipe can be made using only wheat flour or maida.
• Spices may be added as per choice and availability.
• Oil can be added instead of ghee.
• The moyan should be checked by binding the flour. If it binds, the moyan is perfect. Else, more melted ghee should be added.
• While preparing the dough, very little water should be used.
• The dough should not be kneaded.
• The mathri should be prepared using a cookie cutter instead of hands.
• The mathri should be fried in medium hot oil for it to cook well from the inside.
• The temperature of the oil can be verified from whether bubbles form in the oil (they should) when dropping the mathri in it.
• The mathri should be fried one shade lighter than the desired shade.
• When the mathri floats on the oil, it means it is cooked well. Thereafter, it should be fried until it acquires the desired shade.
