Achari Mathi

Achari Mathi is a traditional North Indian savoury snack inspired by the flavours of Indian pickles (achar). Mathi (also called mathri) has long been a staple tea-time snack across Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh, valued for its crisp texture and long shelf life. The achari variation brings together classic mathi craftsmanship with bold pickle spices, creating a snack that reflects India’s love for tangy, spiced flavours.

Achari Mathi is crispy, flaky, and full of bold spice. Each piece is slow-fried to achieve a crunchy texture, then infused with achari spices that deliver tangy, savoury, and mildly spicy notes. Hints of mustard, fennel, and chilli give it a distinctive pickle-like flavour without overpowering the palate. Perfectly balanced and addictive, it pairs exceptionally well with chai and works beautifully as a standalone snack or part of a savoury assortment.

Achari Mathi is best enjoyed fresh within a day at room temperature. If refrigerated, it can stay fresh for 3–5 days. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its crispness. If refrigerated, allow it to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavour.

Refined wheat flour (maida), ghee or edible oil, salt, achari spice mix (mustard seeds, fennel, fenugreek, red chilli, turmeric), ajwain.
