| 1. Mix the semolina in just enough water to make it completely wet and let it soak for about 20 minutes. | 2. Mix the other flours, ½ cup oil, salt and caraway seeds together. | 3. Add the soaked semolina and knead the dough, adding about ¼ cup water as needed, until the dough becomes semi hard and supple. | 4. Make little balls (walnut size) and shape them into patties. | 5. On a flat surface, roll each patty, sprinkled with a pinch of black pepper, into a small round, about ¼" thick. | 6. Prick the rounds with fork for air vents. | 7. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or wok on medium heat. | 8. Fry the mathri, few at a time, turning as needed, until golden brown on all sides. | 9. Drain them on paper towels or brown paper bag. | 10. Repeat for the remaining mathri. | 11. Serve when completely cold. | 12. Variation: May add 1 cup fresh fenugreek leaves (½ cup dry leaves), black pepper and red chili powder, when making the dough. | 13. Healthy Alternative: Use milk instead of water to make the dough. | 14. Add 1 tablespoon baking powder and the desired spices. | 15. Take small pieces of dough and shape like bread sticks. | 16. Bake in the preheated oven at 425°F for 5 minutes; turn and bake for another 5 minutes until light brown. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
