Dudhi Na Muthia

Being a Punjabi, I did not have much experience with Gujarati food until I got married. This snack gets its name from the fact that the dough is placed on the palm and pressed into shape by clenching the fist (muthi in Gujarati). I like to eat the muthia plain, right after they’ve been steamed; this saves calories, but in most homes the tempering is considered essential.
