Jump to Recipe

Gujaratis make superb sweet and sour delicacies with chickpea flour.Khaman Dhokla,fafda,papdi,gathiya,patra,khandvi each have their own fan following.Muthiya recipe is another such recipe.It comes in many flavors methi or fenugreek,dudhi or bottle gourd and even cabbage.Sometimes you do not get good bottle gourd outside India.Hence, you can make the veggie muthia using its local variety zucchini.Zucchini is a squash similar to ridge gourd.

I make Steamed Zucchini Muthia-Squash dumplings frequently.It is easy to make yet very healthy.Probably one of the best way to use a steamer.
