Haldiram's Mathri 200g - Crispy Fried Wheat Namkeen

Haldiram's Mathri 200g – Traditional North Indian Tea-Time Cracker

Mathri — also written mathari, mathiya or matthi — is the savoury cracker that lives in a tin in every Punjabi and Rajasthani kitchen. Wheat-flour dough is rolled thin, seasoned with ajwain (carom seeds) and salt, then fried until it shatters between your teeth.

Haldiram's Mathri 200g brings that homemade standard to a resealable pack, so you can keep a jar of it ready without spending an afternoon at the stove.

What Is Mathri?

Mathri is a flaky, layered, deep-fried biscuit made from wheat flour and semolina, flavoured with ajwain and sometimes black pepper or kasuri methi. Unlike a Western biscuit it is savoury rather than sweet, and unlike a crisp it is dense and short, more like a shortbread that crunches.

It is traditionally made in large batches for Holi, Diwali and Teej, and for long train journeys — because fried dry dough keeps for weeks without losing its texture.

Perfect with Chai, Pickle & Chutney

Mathri is a dunking snack above all. Popular ways to eat it include:

• Dipped into hot masala chai
• With a spoonful of mango pickle or mixed achaar
• Topped with mint or tamarind chutney
• With curd or raita as a light evening snack
• Crushed over chaat for texture
• On a festival and Diwali snack platter

Keeps Its Crunch for Weeks

Because mathri is fried dry rather than baked soft, it holds its crunch for a long time in a sealed container. That is exactly why it became the travel and festival snack of choice across North India long before packaged snacks existed.

A North Indian Favourite in Sweden

For Punjabi, Rajasthani, Delhi and Pakistani families living in Stockholm and across Sweden, mathri is one of those snacks that is hard to find and instantly familiar when you do. It is the taste of an ordinary afternoon at home.

For Swedish customers, think of it as a savoury, spiced cracker — excellent with tea, and a natural partner for chutneys and pickles.
