Cornmeal is a meal ground from dried maize (corn). It is a common staple food, and is ground to fine, medium, and coarse consistencies, but not as fine as wheat flour. Unlike flour made from wheat grains, corn meal does not contain gluten. Use corn meal in place of wheat flour in your baked foods -- finely ground corn meal yields baked goods with a smoother texture, while coarsely ground corn meal provides a crunchier texture. corn as a good source of fiber. Corn is a food that gives us plenty of chewing satisfaction, and its high ratio of insoluble-to-soluble fiber is partly the reason.
These Makki ki mathri made from Corn meal are baked stuff. It takes bit longer time to bake them, But after baking them, it tastes good instead of frying them.
