Method For Methi Muthia Dough

 

    1. For preparing the Methi Muthia Dough, take a bunch of methi leaves. 
    2. Firstly, we will clean and wash the Methi Leaves and separate the leaves from the stems. 
    3. Further, chop the leaves. 
    4. Transfer the chopped methi leaves in a deep bowl.
    5. Add little salt.
    6. Mix well and keep aside for 5 minutes.
    7. After 5 minutes, squeeze out all the excess liquid from the methi leaves. The squeezing helps to get rid of the bitterness from the fenugreek leaves. Transfer the methi leaves to a deep bowl.
    8. Add whole wheat flour.
    9. Add the besan. You can also add jowar, bajra or ragi flour to the methi muthia dough.
    10. Add the ginger-green chilli paste. See how to make homemade ginger green chilli paste. 
    11. Add the sugar. It balances out all the flavours, but if you dislike then skip adding sugar.
    12. Add the chilli powder. If you want the methi muthiya spicier then add more chilli powder.
    13. Add the turmeric powder.
    14. Add a pinch of baking soda.  
    15. Add oil and salt to taste. Both soda and salt help in methi muthiyas softer.
    16. Add approx. 1 tbsp of water. Sometimes you might require little more water.
    17. Combine all the ingredients.
    18. Knead into a soft dough. If the dough of  methi muthia | Gujarati methi muthiya for undhiyu | deep fried methi muthia | is very sticky, then add little chickpea flour.

Please inform if the methi muthias can be stored in the fridge for a few weeks? Should we half cook them to store them? Is it better to freeze them? Thanks,

Yes, half deep fry them, cool and store in an air tight container in the refrigerator. You need not freeze them. They will stay fresh for 8 to 10 days.
