Muthiya Recipe

About the Recipe

Muthiya is a fish shaped dumpling, which is a traditional and famous street food in Gujarat. The term Muthiya is derived from the word “muthi” which means fist- the gripping action of our hands. Muthiya is a steamed dish which makes it an absolute healthy snack to have. It can be made in a variety of ways with leafy veggies or bottle gourd. Today I am making it with loni and methi leaves. Use Oddy Ecobake Non-stick liners to steam the Muthiyas.
