Haldiram’s Gol Mathi is yet another classic variation of the traditional Indian snack Mathis, but with a distinct round (or „gol“) shape. Unlike the flat or twisted varieties, Gol Mathi is thicker and circular, making it a denser, flakier snack with a rich, buttery texture.
Here’s a detailed look at Haldiram’s Gol Mathi:
Ingredients: Made with wheat flour, ghee or oil, salt, and spices like ajwain (carom seeds) and cumin. The dough is typically made richer with a bit more fat (ghee or oil) to give the mathi its signature flaky texture.
Flavor: Savory with a mild spice profile from ajwain and cumin. The rich use of fat in the dough enhances the flavor, making it slightly indulgent and filling.
Texture: Thicker and flakier than regular mathis, with a satisfying crunch. The layers inside provide a softer, melt-in-the-mouth feel.
Serving Suggestion: Perfect with tea, or served with pickles for an added punch of flavor. It can also be paired with curd or chutney.
Gol Mathi is a popular snack during festivals or special occasions, known for its wholesome, rich texture. Haldiram’s packaging and quality control ensure a consistently tasty experience for consumers.
