I’ve also used vegetables like drumsticks, tendli etc instead of the usual overdose of yam, potatoes etc. The methi muthias added to this recipe are also baked instead of being fried – not only are they low-fat but their golden brown colour is also visually appealing!
There is also a hearty amount of iron and calcium in this recipe. However, do remember, a rich dish is a rich dish however much it might be modified – so relish this only occasionally!

Method
- It is highly recommended that this recipe be relished by diabetics only occasionally and in small quantities. This is just a mere ‘treat’ and does not qualify for a regular diabetic menu.
- Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl and knead into a soft dough using a little water.
- Divide the dough into 15 equal portions, shape into even sized rounds and flatten them by placing between your palms.
- Place on a greased baking tray and bake in a pre-heated oven at 200°c (400°f) for 7 to 8 minutes. Keep aside.
- String the surti papadi taking care not to separate the 2 sides.
- Wash the papadi, add the carom seeds, soda bi-carb and salt and mix well.
- Make criss-cross slits in the purple yam, baby potatoes and brinjals taking care not to separate the segments.
- Divide the masala mixture into 2 equal portions and fill one portion of the masala mixture into the slits of purple yam, potatoes and brinjals. Keep the remaining masala mixture aside.
- Combine the surti papadi, stuffed vegetables, green peas, toovar, tendli, drumsticks and the remaining masala mixture with 3½ cups of water and pressure cook for 2 whistles. Keep aside.
- Just before serving, transfer the cooked oondhiya into a large serving dish, add the methi muthias and toss lightly.
- Serve hot garnished with the coriander.
