Authentic handmade Gujarati Mathiya from Charotar — the region famous for the finest farsaan in India. No preservatives, no artificial colours. Just urad dal, spices, and generations of craft.
Mathiya is a traditional Gujarati fried snack made from urad dal flour (black lentil flour), seasoned with ajwain, black pepper, and salt. The dough is hand-shaped into flat discs and deep-fried until golden and crispy. It's one of the most beloved farsaan in Gujarat — eaten with chai, served on festival platters, and gifted during Diwali.
Janki Papad makes Mathiya in small batches in Charotar, Gujarat — the region traditionally known for producing the finest farsaan in India. Our recipe uses no preservatives, no artificial colours, and no artificial flavours.
Classic Mathiya is the evergreen choice — mild, nutty, and universally liked across all age groups. It pairs well with sweet chai, chutneys, or simply eaten plain. Green Chilli Mathiya is for those who want more heat and aroma — the fresh chilli paste gives it a bold flavour and a slight green tint. If you're ordering for a mixed household, consider getting one pack of each.
Store in an airtight container away from moisture and direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate — moisture softens the texture. Once opened, best consumed within 4–6 weeks. Properly stored, Janki Mathiya stays crispy for 3–6 months.
All Janki Papad products are packed airtight at the time of dispatch. Mathiya has a shelf life of 6 months from manufacturing. For bulk orders (5kg and 10kg), contact us on WhatsApp at +91 99789 55802 for packaging preferences and estimated delivery timelines.
