Back with another kohlrabi recipe 🙂 I love using this vegetable a lot because it just goes well with a lot of flavors and cooks quickly. Ok let’s not forget it’s healthy too 😉 In my previous blog post I mentioned that planning something for the evening snack can be difficult. Something to have with tea and relax! This Muthia fits right into that slot for snacks that are super yummy, easy to prepare, tasty, and healthy!

Preparing Muthia is not a very hard thing – just requires throwing in some wheat/oat/chickpea flour(besan) together with some spices and veggies and steaming the dough. Once the dough is steamed, you chop it into bite-sized pieces and drizzle some seasoning on top 🙂 How easy does that sound! The preparation takes less than 10 minutes and then you let the steamer do its job. I love recipes like this!!

Muthia is a traditional dish from Gujarat. It’s generally prepared using chickpea and fenugreek leaves (methi) or lauki (bottle gourd). I tweaked it and added oats and wheat to add a variation. Plus a new way to try a vegetable is always great, right?
