Air Fryer Suji Mathri by Tashi

Ingredients

• 1 cup semolina (suji)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp oil (plus extra for brushing)
• 1/2 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 cup warm water (as needed for dough)

Instructions

1. Combine semolina, all-purpose flour, salt, carom seeds, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and rub into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
3. Gradually add warm water while kneading to form a stiff, tight dough; cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls and roll each into a thin disc, about 2 inches in diameter.
5. Prick each disc multiple times with a fork to prevent them from puffing up like puris.
6. Brush the air fryer basket with oil and arrange the mathris in a single layer without overlapping.
7. Air fry at 160°C (320°F) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp.
