Desi Namkeen Swad

Mathri is a traditional deep-fried, flaky biscuit that perfectly captures the essence of Bihar’s snacking culture. Made primarily from maida (refined flour) or atta (whole wheat flour) mixed with aromatic spices and ghee, mathri is kneaded into a stiff dough, rolled, and fried until golden and crisp.

What makes Mathri truly special is its long shelf life — it can be stored easily for up to 45 days, making it an ideal snack for travel, tea-time, or festive occasions like Diwali, Holi, or other traditional festivals celebrated across Bihar

In Bihar, Mathri is not just a snack — it’s a tradition passed down through generations, served with a warm cup of tea, tangy pickle, or spicy chutney. Its irresistible crunch and subtle spiced flavor make it a favorite in every household, especially during festivals when homes are filled with the aroma of fried delicacies and celebration.
