    Lauki ki muthia is a great kid-friendly snack too. Just pack in their lunchbox with ketchup and they all set. In this lauki muthia, I added the same quantity of cabbage as well. With lauki and cabbage one thing to remember, they contain a lot of water which is sufficient to combine the flour and the rest of the ingredients. No need for adding extra water.

    There are many version available for making muthia. With few vegetables combination and rest of the ingredients are same. Steam them, temper and serve. Usually, steamed muthia are given tempering of curry leaves, mustard seeds, and sesame seeds. Sesame seed gives a crunchy and nutty flavor to it.  If you shallow fry them then golden crunchy crust gives another level of crunch and taste.

      Love the cabbage along with the lauki in the muthias. I agree about being careful when adding water as both lauki and cabbage let out lot of water.
