Karela Mathri | karela mathri recipe with step wise pictorial method.

 We all know about the famous vegetable Karela and also well aware about what Mathri is. So that way Karela and Mathri are not surprising things for us. But what is little thought provoking, for the people never introduced with this recipe, the combination of these two words together.

Initially when we presented these Mathris to some guests, they inquired about its name. On being told its name & when they tasted, they said, ‘ but it doesn’t have a taste of Karela in it and also they are not even a bit greenish’ ?

Then they were made clear that these Mathris are named as Karela Mathris only because they carry a shape resembling to Karela and otherwise the vegetable Karela has nothing to do with it.

It’s a tea time savory snack having a crunch at its peak. Although looking quite complex from their appearance, but practically these are more than easy to make. This is not possible to prepare every time something while having a cup of tea, so the best part of these Karela Mathri is that you can make them in bulk and whenever you feel like, enjoy with a hot cup of tea.
