❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Mango Kulfi

Why do my mathris turn soft after frying?

Mathris may turn soft if the oil is not hot enough during frying. Ensure the oil is moderately hot before adding the dough pieces, and fry them on medium heat to make them crispy and golden.

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?

Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for a healthier version. However, the texture will be slightly denser and less crisp compared to traditional mathris made with all-purpose flour.
