Quick And Easy Last-Minute Snacks Recipes

1. Crispy Layered Mathri Recipe

Who doesn’t want to munch on some delectable mathri? You may create methi mathri, achari mathri, oats mathri, and even potato mathri, all of which have different flavours and shapes. But if you’re short on time, we suggest trying this crispy layered mathri that the YouTuber Parul uploaded on her channel, “Cook with Parul.” All you need to create this version, which just takes ten minutes, is maida, ajwain seeds, salt, black pepper powder, ghee, and oil. Pretty easy, huh?

INGREDIENTS

For Layered Mathri

Maida, 2 cups
Salt, 1/2 tsp (as per taste)
Ajwain, 1 tsp
Black pepper powder, 1 tsp
Kasoori methi, 1 tsp
Oil (for Moin), 2 -3 tbsp
Water, as required
Oil (for frying), 500 grams

For making Sata

Ghee, 5 spoons
Maida, 5 spoons

HOW TO MAKE IT

1 Add all other ingredients after sieving the maida. Mix thoroughly after adding oil.

2. The dough should be kneaded while adding water gradually. The dough shouldn’t be too soft or firm. The dough should be worked in a manner similar to that used to make puris.

3. The dough should be placed in a container to rest for 15 to 20 minutes.

4. We will now take a bowl and add ghee and maida to it to produce a thick batter. It is also known as Sata.

5. Our dough is well-set after resting. The dough should now be rolled out, divided into smaller balls, and rolled into roti shapes.

6. You may spread as many layers as you like. I’ve created five rotis.

7. We’ll take one roti for the layer mathri, place Sata on it, keep the second roti on top of it, and repeat the procedure.

8. In a similar manner, you must roll the rotis after adding sata to all of them. Then, you must cut the sata into tiny balls and softly roll them with a rolling pin. All of our mathris are prepared to be fried at this moment.

9. Put the pan on the burner and add the oil. Fry the mathris on a medium burner after the oil is hot until they are golden.

10. Our incredibly tasty and crispy Mathris are now ready. Eat it with tea as a snack.

2. Paneer Gujiya Recipe

For Holi, you’re undoubtedly going to bake some traditional sweet gujiyas or karanjis. Consider using some of the remaining covering dough to create paneer gujiyas. These savoury gujiyas have paneer, peas, spices, and a small amount of cheese within. When you’re sick of sweets, it’s the ideal meal to eat. Also, when visitors bite into the crisp outer layer, they won’t anticipate this filling, so you’re sure to leave a lasting impression.

Ingredients of Paneer Gujiya

150 gms Maida (flour)
5 Ghee
150 Paneer (grated or finely chopped)
1 Oil
1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
1/2 tsp Jeera
1 tsp Pepper powder
1 tsp Ginger garlic paste
1 tsp Red chilli powder
1 tsp crushed kasuri methi
1 tsp Amchur (mango powder)
1 tsp Saunf powder
1 tsp Green Chillies, finely chopped
1/2 Green Peas
2 onions , finely chopped
1 Honey
1/2 coriander leaves, finely chopped
Salt
Oil for frying

HOW TO MAKE IT

1. Sieve maida into a big bowl to form the gujiya’s outer coating. To make a dough, combine ghee, salt, and water or milk. Knead for a few minutes, then leave in the basin covered for 30 minutes.

2.Heat one tablespoon of oil in a kadhai or heavy-bottomed pan to prepare the filling. Jeera (cumin), ginger, garlic paste, green peppers, and onion should all be added. The onions should be sautéed for a few minutes until transparent.

3. Stir for a minute before adding the powdered masalas (haldi, chilli, saunf, and amchur).

4.Now include in the container the paneer, half-baked green peas, and kasuri methi. Honey, crushed cashew nuts, and salt to taste are added after stirring.

5.Cover everything and simmer on low heat until the green peas are soft.

6. Add freshly cut coriander and pepper powder. Mix the mixture until it has dried.

7. Disconnect the heat. Add the cheese and thoroughly combine. Uncovered, let the filling to cool.

8.The gujiyas should now begin to be assembled. Take the dough out of the bowl, breaking it into tiny pieces. Create little dough balls, and then shape them into thin circles.

9. Like you would when creating sweet gujiyas or karanjis, gently spoon a little amount of the filling into the centre of each circle and seal it together. Before closing, you might add a little water to the margins.

10.Fry the gujiyas in deep fat till they are golden. Serve hot alongside sweet and sour chutney.

3. Churumuri Recipe

Chaat is another Holi food that is popular. Chaat foods are always a hit since they are so delectable and (usually) simple to make. Make Churumuri or “Masala Mandakki” this Holi.
