Mathri is a Rajasthani snack. It is a kind of flaky biscuits from north-west region of India. It is made from flour, water, and cumin seeds (optional). The creation of this snack was influenced by the need to have preserved food that will stay edible for days and the finished products are often stored in big jars at room temperature.
