Dudhi Muthia (Lauki Muthia)



This is one the most popular Gujrati snack. Every Gujrati thali consists of these steamed Muthia’s. This is a healthy snack as we are going to steam and then sauté the Muthia’s (Not going to Deep fry). Traditionally we use Besan gram flour)/ Jowar Flour (Sorghum Flour) and Wheat Flour to make these Muthia’s. I am using Oats Flour, Jowar Flour and Wheat Flour. For Dhudhi Muthia we need


 INGREDIENTS:-
2 cups grated Dudhi (Bottle Gourd)
¼ cup Oats Flour
½ cup Jowar Flour
½ cup Wheat Flour
1 tbsp Semolina (Sooji)
2 tbsp Sesame seeds
1 tbsp oil
¼ cup coriander finely chopped
2 tsp red chili powder (you can add according to your taste)
½ tsp Turmeric
1 tbsp coriander powder
¼ tsp Asafetida
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
¼ cup yoghurt
Pinch of Soda
For Tempering:-
2 Tbsp Oil
½ tsp cumin-mustard seeds
¼ tsp Asafetida
7-8 curry leaves
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tsp chat masala/ Jeeranu(Jeeravan) masala

METHODS:-
1.  In a bowl add grated Dudhi, sesame seeds, asafetida, salt, red chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric, coriander and sugar. Mix everything well and keep it aside for 10 minutes.

2.  After 10 minutes add yoghurt, soda, oil and give it a nice mix.
3.  Now add in the flours and combine everything well.
4.  If you need water to knead it then add little water. Knead it like a dough.
5.  Apply little oil to the dough.

6.  Make small cylindrical shape muthia’s.
7.  Boil water in a steamer. You can even use Idli pot to steam the muthia.
8.  Grease the steamer plate with oil.
9.  Place muthia’s over it and steam it for 10-15 minutes on medium flame.
10.             Once the muthia’s are steamed, allow it to cool.
11.             Cut it into small disc.

12.             Now for Tempering:-
·       Heat oil in a pan add cumin-mustard seeds, allow it to splutter.

·       Now add asafetida, curry leaves, sesame seeds and add the muthia’s.



·       Sauté it for 3-4 minutes on high flame.
·       At last sprinkle some chat masala or Jeeravan masala and serve it with fresh coriander chutney or mint onion chutney.


You can carry this snack while travelling. It stays fresh for 3-4 days.
You can even add these muthia’s to Kadhi or make gravy and add these muthia’s.
