The goodness of fresh Methi leaves coupled with a few other spices makes Methi Muthiyas an irresistible snack. This traditional Gujarati snack can be steamed or fried depending on your taste or dietary preference; the steamed muthiyas are good for health while the fried ones for the soul! You can also use Appe/Appam Patra for shallow frying the dumplings. For a predominant Methi flavour and taste, do not add too much flour while making the dough. The dumplings need not be perfectly shaped. Also, for lighter Muthiyas,resist the urge to press the dough too tightly, while making the dumplings.
Serve Methi Muthiya with Dhaniya Pudina Chutney or Gujarati Kadhi.

To begin making the Methi Muthiyas, firstly add all the ingredients under ‘Muthiya dough’ in a mixing bowl.
Add some water and mix till everything just comes together. Do not knead the dough too much.
Pinch small lime sized balls from the dough. Using the palm of your hands shape them into small elongated dumplings.
Heat oil in a deep fry pan and deep fry the dumplings on medium heat till they turn golden brown in colour.
Drain them on a kitchen towel to absorb the extra oil and serve them hot.
Lightly oil a strainer or steaming bowl and steam the Dumplings for about 12-15 minutes or till a knife inserted comes out clean.
In a flat non-stick pan heat the oil. Add the mustards seeds and once they crackle add the cumin and fennel seeds.
Add the steamed dumplings and fry till they turn a light golden colour.
