Dudhi Muthiya ( Opo Squash/ Bottle Gaurd Savory Dumplings)

Muthiya is traditional Gujarati snack. I am sharing you today my version of making muthiya.This is pretty simple and very easy to make it. You can also skip the tampering of it and enjoy as steam muthiya. I like to serve muthiya with chundo (shreeded mango sweet pickle), coriander mint chutney or with a cup of tea.

To make muthiya you will need :-

1 cup of whole wheat flour

1 cup of handva flour (easily available in Indian grocery store)

1-1/2 tablespoon ginger garlic paste

1/2 cup shredded and strained dudhi/opo squash/bottle gaurd

2 tablespoon olive oil

4-5 tablespoon yogurt

1-2 tablespoon sugar (optional)

2 cloves of garlic minced (optional)

1 teaspoon carrom seeds

Pinch of baking soda

1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder

Pinch of red chilly powder (optional)

Salt to taste

Water as needed

6-7 curry leaves

1 tablespoon mustard seeds

4-5 tablespoon oil for tampering

Coriander leaves for garnishing

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Take a bowl and mix whole wheat flour and handvo flour and add ginger garlic paste, olive oil, baking soda, yogurt, carrom seeds, turmeric powder, red chilly powder, sugar, dudhi, salt and mix well. Add little water at time and make a dough. Dough should not be too hard it must be little liquidy. Take a steamer and then allow the water to boil and then on the steamer plate keep the long roll of dough and cover it and cook it for about 20-25 minutes. Check in between, but don't flip it. When they are done allow it to cool down. Then with the help of knife make small dumpling size pieces of it. 

Take a pan and add oil to it and when oil gets hot add mustard seeds and curry leaves. Add sesame seeds. Be careful, curry leaves and sesame seeds don't splutter on you. Add all the dumplings and mix well and cook it for a 2 minutes while mixing it. 

At the time of serving add  chopped coriander leaves.
