METHI MUTHIA

Methi Muthia is a steamed , healthy guilt free gujarati snack.It always finds a place in all gujarati households and I got this recipe from Tarla Dalal website.I had this at the famouus Rajdhani restaurant here in Bangalore.I have made this with methi but can also be made with palak,peas,cabbage and mixed veggies too.It requires very less oil so you can have it safely.I also learnt that though traditionally it is made with besan,it can also be made with jowar and bajra flours.See below the tasty recipe of Methi Muthia..
