microwave doodhi muthia recipe | quick lauki muthia | doodhi na muthia | with 31 amazing pictures

A traditional and healthy Gujarati snack made with grated doodhi and spices is Doodhi Muthia. Muthias are very famous snack derived for Gujarat, which are made with different ingredients and has a lot of variations too. People also make muthias with spinach, cabbage, moong dal, methi and etc. We have made our muthias with doodhi.

For making microwave doodhi muthia we have used, lauki which is grated. Make sure to grate it just before making it as it tends to darken and also squeeze out excessive water from so that it doesnt make the dough for doodhi muthia runny. Next we have added grated onions, make sure you squeeze out water from onions too. Further we have added 3 flours for binding which include whole wheat flour, besan and some rava, rava would make them a little crisp. Also, some ginger garlic paste for flavor and Indian spices like turmeric powder and garam masala, cumin seeds which provide a distinctive aroma to the muthia and you can also use fennel seeds. Further some sugar, some fresh coriander leaves, baking soda which would help making the doodhi muthia soft. asafeotida and oil. All the ingredients are combined together and formed into a dough. Make sure the mixture is not sticky and no water is used to knead the dough as doodhi has enough water content.

Quick Doodhi muthia are quite easy to make. The ingredients used in making it are quite basic and are available in every Indian household. The different thing about our recipe is that we have made these doodhi muthias in a microwave which made the process short and quick. Steaming takes a while, where we have just microwaved doodhi muthia for 3 mins and they are ready!! We have even made the tempering in the microwave and cut the cooking time.

quick lauki muthia is a filling and a heavy snack recipe which has a great shelf life!! I serve it as snack and also sometimes as a side dish with lunch or dinner!!

You can serve doodhi na muthia with green chutney!!
