JEERA MATHI

Dayal House Jeera Mathi is a traditional North Indian savory snack known for its crisp texture and distinctive cumin (jeera) flavor. Made primarily from refined wheat flour (maida), this deep-fried delicacy is infused with whole cumin seeds, which lend it a warm, earthy aroma and a mildly spicy taste. Often enjoyed during festivals like Diwali or as a tea-time treat, jeera mathi is both satisfying and flavorful.
The preparation involves kneading a firm dough using flour, cumin seeds, salt, and ghee or oil, sometimes with the addition of carom seeds (ajwain) for extra flavor. Small discs or diamond shapes are cut out, pricked to prevent puffing, and then deep-fried to a golden brown until crispy. The result is a flaky, crunchy snack with a long shelf life, making it ideal for storage or travel.
