Mix maida with salt, cumin seeds, carom seeds, and crushed black peppercorn in a bowl.
Gradually add water and knead to form a tight dough.
Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
In a bowl, mix ghee and cornflour to create a smooth paste.
Roll out the dough into thin sheets.
Apply the cornflour paste evenly over the sheet.
Fold the sheet to create layers and roll it out again.
Heat oil in a pan and fry the layered mathri until golden brown and crispy.
Ensure the dough is tight to achieve the perfect flaky texture.
Let the dough rest to enhance elasticity and make rolling easier.
Fry on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
