Muthia is an Indian food which is derived from the way it is made, from the gripping action of the hand. It is just like sausage but it is a vegan dish. It is made up of chickpea flour, methi, salt, turmeric powder, chili powder and oil. You can keep this snack for few days as snack. You can use fried or steamed technique to cook this dish. For more variation, you can add other leaf vegetables such as spinach, amaranth, lauki, bitter gourd, carrot or cabbage. It can be served as snack with pudina chutney or onion chutney.
Khichdi na Muthia is a staple dish of Gujrat cuisine which cooked in each and every Guajarati family. This time I shared steamed muthia recipe which made from leftover khichdi. I used simple khichdi recipe which made from rice and green lentils with little salt and turmeric powder. Khichdi Na Muthia is a simple and steamed snack which made by mashed khichdi, besan, lauki and spices.

Very unique one. This is such an interesting recipe, Preeti. Bookmarked to try it later.
Wow! After the everyday khichdis we are dishing out I am sure this one will come in handy to reuse the leftovers. A fantastic and unique recipe.
Never know we can make muthiyas with kichadi but coming to think about it the concept is more like the South Indian upma kozhukattai. Awesome share Preeti.
