Oondhiya, Microwave Oondhiya

Traditional veggies like surti papdi and kand are used in the Oondhiya, giving it an earthy and homely taste. The muthias too have the intense taste of fenugreek and a nice, melt-in-the-mouth texture.
Instead of deep-frying, steaming or baking the muthias, we have made them easily in the microwave oven. By combining the muthias and veggies with a flavour-packed coconut paste, we get a traditional treat that is best enjoyed with Puris and Kadhi .

I always thought making oondhiya was tough but after I saw this recipe, I decided to try it and trust me the taste was just fab. I make it when in season in a microwave and my family enjoys it with puri and kadhi.
