2. Work the butter into the flour with your fingers until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. 
3. Add the yogurt and sprinkle ice water onto the crumbly dough and with your hands push the dough from the sides to the middle of the bowl to form a ball that holds together and becomes a firm dough, yet pliable dough. 
4. Cover with the damp cloth and set aside for 15 minutes.
5. Divide the dough into small balls and roll out all the balls. 
6. Arrange the mathri's on a non-stick baking sheet and prick them evenly with a fork, to prevent them from puffing while in the oven.

8. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool. 
9. You can now savor these Mathris in the evening with a Cuppa chai.
