Muthia is a Gujarati snack that was introduced to me by my friend and I got addicted to these healthy and delicious steamed dumplings. A few days back when I had a sudden craving for this muthias I told this to my friend and the next day she sent a box full of yummy muthias to my place. The next day, I asked her the recipe and tried it on my own and this came out very awesome.

Instructions

  • Peel the skin of the bottle gourd and grate this in a fine grater.

  • Make this into small cylindrical shapes.
  • Steam this for 20 mins(check by inserting a toothpick.) It should come out clean.
  • When it is cool, cut this into small roundels.

  • Add the cut muthias to this.
  • Saute for a minute.
  • Add the sesame seeds and switch off the flame.
  • Add the grated coconut(if using) and transfer it to a serving plate.
  • Enjoy hot tea.

Notes

  1. As bottle gourd leaves excess water do not add much yogurt to make the dough
  2. While making with palak or methi leaves more yogurt can be used.No need to use water to make a dough.
  3. Garam masala, red chili powder ginger garlic paste can be added while making the dough.
  4. The cylindrical dumplings can be microwaved also instead of steaming and I strongly recommend this too.
