Come monsoon and we all feel like eating 'Besan ke pakode' or 'Mathries with pickle'. Everyone has
become so health conscious. So we thought of baking the mathries and do some experiment with our
traditional food. To our surprise, it turned out to be so good. At least one can be sure and not feel
guilty after consuming three or four baked mathries as they are not deep fried. The mathries with
lemon or mango pickle or imly chutney taste heavenly and can be enjoyed completely.
