Muthia is basically a gujarati snack.

Muthias can be made from many vegetables and believe me all of them taste wonderful. They are an excellent tea time snack. Microwave gives an advantage of fast cooking. So, by the time your tea is made, the muthias are also ready to be gulped down ;-).

Other varieties of muthia can be lauki muthia, methi muthia, and many more.
