Mathri
a small, savoury, deep-fried snack made of flour and spices, often sun-dried and stored for weeks — the kind a neighbour keeps ready for visiting children.
If your child asks about Mathri, tell them: "It is a word you might hear in Indian stories." Then ask them — "Where do you think you'd see Mathri in real life?" It opens a small conversation about Indian culture.
