dudhi muthiya recipe-min

This Dudhi muthiya recipe brings you a very popular and super nutritious snack/meal option from the state of Gujarat in India. Dudhi is Bottle Gourd, that is widely available in the hot and arid region.

It is added with grounding and nourishing ingredients to make into savory cakes that are utterly delicious and satiating. This dudhi muthiya recipe is made in the traditional way by steaming grated bottle gourd with wheat flour, besan (bengal gram flour), and semolina.

Dudhi Muthiya Recipe – Alterations and Cooking Tips

Once, you get a hang of the method, you can replace wheat flour with other flours such as millet flours if you wish. Since millet flours are not glutinous, you will need to keep the mix a little dry while making the dough. Otherwise it can become a little runny, hence difficult to steam.

I have also tried this recipe by baking the muthiya mix, instead of steaming it. If you wish to bake, then make sure that the dough is slightly runny or use millet flours, as baking is essentially drying in nature.

Benefits and Suitability of Dudhi Muthiya

This recipe is highly balanced and nourishing in nature. It is ideal for Vata Diet and Pitta Diet. It is grounding in nature and helps to builds tissues, while regulating the digestive fire with optimal level of spices and herbs that go along with the preparation.

For Kapha people or those suffering from Kapha Imbalance, consume this muthiya recipe in moderation. This recipe is great for Diabetics, New Mother, Pregnancy, and for children.

Instructions

For the Muthiya

  • First sqeeze water out of the Bottle Gourd by pressing it against your palms. We can resuse this water. However, if we simply use the bottle gourd it can lead to very soggy cakes. Hence, it is better to first squeeze out the water and then add it to the dough as we prepare it.
  • Now mix all the muthiya ingredients together and knead into a soft dough.
  • Apply little oil to your palms and make cylindrical rolls of the dough.
  • Place the rolls on the steamer and let them steam for 20 -25 minutes.
  • Check by pinching the roll with a tooth pick or a knife. If it comes out clean, then the rolls are cooked. If not, let them steam some more.
  • Close the heat and let the rolls cool down.
