About the Recipe

Brown chickpeas that have been cooked, all-purpose flour, spices, and seasonings are used to make Chana Chor Mathari, a common North Indian snack of savory, salty, flaky, and crispy crackers. They are suitable for snacking on during tea. You can enjoy them for a few days after making them in bulk and storing them in an airtight container. Between Oddy Ecobake, the matharis are pressed to a thin layer. When you are producing anything in large quantities, Oddy Ecobake is practical and reusable.
