Easy Traditional Gujarati Muthia RecipeVeg

1

In a large bowl, combine the wheat flour, gram flour, coriander & cumin seed powder, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, sugar, ginger & chilli paste, soda bicarb, lemon juice, oil, coriander leaves, and grated bottle gourd (lauki).

2

Add salt to taste. Mix all the ingredients well. As you mix, the salt will cause the bottle gourd to release moisture, which helps bind the dough together. Do not add any extra water.

1

Prepare your steamer by boiling a pot of water and placing a greased perforated sieve or steamer tray on top. Cover it with a lid.

2

Apply a little oil to your palms to prevent sticking, then take portions of the dough and shape them into cylindrical rolls.

3

Place the rolls on the steamer tray, cover with the lid, and steam for 20–25 minutes.

4

Once firm to the touch, remove the rolls from the steamer and let them cool down completely.

1

Once cooled, chop the steamed rolls into thin, uniform slices.

2

Heat oil in a pan. Once hot, add the mustard seeds, sesame seeds, curry leaves, and dry red chilli.

3

Add the sliced muthias to the pan and toss them gently.

4

Sauté for 3–4 minutes until they have nice, light brown edges.

5

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve warm.
