1

To begin making the Methi Muthiyas, firstly add all the ingredients under ‘Muthiya dough’ in a mixing bowl.

2

Add some water and mix till everything just comes together. Do not knead the dough too much.

3

Pinch small lime sized balls from the dough. Using the palm of your hands shape them into small elongated dumplings.

For Fried Muthiyas:

1

Heat oil in a deep fry pan and deep fry the dumplings on medium heat till they turn golden brown in colour.

2

Drain them on a kitchen towel to absorb the extra oil and serve them hot.

For Steamed Muthiyas:

1

Lightly oil a strainer or steaming bowl and steam the Dumplings for about 12-15 minutes or till a knife inserted comes out clean.

2

In a flat non-stick pan heat the oil. Add the mustards seeds and once they crackle add the cumin and fennel seeds.

3

Add the steamed dumplings and fry till they turn a light golden colour.

Serve Methi Muthiya with Dhaniya Pudina Chutney or Gujarati Kadhi.
