Nimki + Video

Nimki or Parti Mathri is a famous Indian dry snack which can be made ahead and stored for almost a month in an air tight container. Here is a simple Nimki Recipe to make at home.

If you have ever travelled across North India, you might know that Nimki is one of the most popular snacks of that region. Nimki is also one of the types of Mathris that are shaped in a way that it becomes multilayered.

That is why they are named Parti adopted from the word ‘Parat’, which in Hindi means a multitude of layers. Crispy and crunchy, Nimki is perfect to nibble along with a hot cup of Adrak Wali Chai.

The best part about Parti Mathri is that they remain good for almost a month in an airtight container. You can prepare them in bulk and store them for a long time use. The secret behind making delicious Nimki is to make a really stiff dough and fry its stock on a very low heat ensuring the dough is cooked till inside.

How to make Nimki Recipe?

To make this crispy snack, ingredients like flour, oil, salt and ajwain are kneaded with water to make a stiff dough, for some added flavoring, we are adding chaat masala and ghee near the edges.

The dough is then rolled out and folded a couple of times to form triangles. Then the mathris are fried in oil until they turn golden brown. While frying this snack, it’s best to keep turning the mathri so that it fries evenly on all sides and gets a lovely crisp texture.

So the next time you’re planning to make a fried snack, try this delicious Indian special mathri instead of making the regular fries.

Nimki can be served along with tangy Hari Mirch Ka Achar and various chutneys to spice up the snack! I love relishing Parthi Mathri with my family after siestas.

Those mild flavours of Ajwain and Chaat Masala blended in Nimki Recipe really perk up our spirits. I am sure you would like munching this snack during family picnics or stay at home weekend.

Do try Pudiney ke Namakpare, Bhakarwadi or Makhana Namkeen as well. Note down the simple recipe for preparing Parthi Mathri at home, store them in an airtight jar and relish them whenever you want:
