Thinking 🤔 of what made me come-up with this idea. Well, her it goes… being a wife of a health-conscious husband, I am always encouraged to cook food which is good-looking, tasty and healthy. This festive season while I was sharing my childhood memories with my husband 🤗 he said how he ensured to avoid having #Mathri because of its deep-fried nature. Surprise I was, since Mathri’s taste is simply unforgettable . Well what next, I took it as a challenge and decided to make a healthier and guilt-free version. Hence, I decided to switch-on air fryer and let my kitchen be filled with baked mathri fragrance 😇
