Serving Suggestions
Serve doodhi muthiya as a snack with green chutney in evening time or for breakfast. They can be packed in the kid’s tiffin for lunch too.
Tips and Tricks
- Grate lauki just before adding into flour mixture because it becomes dark colour after reacting with air.
- Don’t add water in the beginning as lauki is a water-rich vegetable. It releases juices when we add salt and spices to the mixture.
- Do not leave the dough , make logs and put them in the steamer quickly.
- We can eat muthiya right after steaming but tempering it with a little oil and mustard seeds improves its taste and make it a little crispy.
- Do not skip baking soda as it gives it a light and fluffy texture.
