Doodhi na Muthiya are very popular in Gujrat and are normally made with coarse as well as regular wheat flour . Bottle gourd is added to make it healthy as well as soft . Curd too helps in giving them softness. Since I did not want to use wheat flour I made these with Jowar flour .

Actually I wanted to make Muthiya with Jowar and bottle gourd , but while steaming these , the muthiya spread and got distorted . I let them cool down . The taste was perfect but since the shape was weird I decided to mash these and form them into tikkis .The Muthiyas changed to Tikki , but trust me these tasted even better . The basic flavour remained same but since these were shallow fried a lovely crunch was added.

These Tikkis are my Day 2 post under Whole Grains.

Ingredients

500 gms bottle gourd , grated

2 tsp ginger chilly paste

I tsp sesame seeds

1/4 tsp turmeric powder

1/2 tsp red chilly powder

1/4 cup curd

1 tbsp coriander leaves

Salt to taste

Method

Grate the bottle gourd .

Sprinkle salt over and leave it for 10 minutes.

Gently squeeze out the water.

Take a bowl and add Jowar flour and all the ingredients , except curd.

Now add curd and bind the dough .

You might need some water to make the dough to a soft dough.

You can use the water that has been squeezed out .

Make long rolls and steam them in a steamer for 15-20 minutes .

This is the recipe for muthiya .

Now the Tikki

Let the muthiyas cool down .

Pinch out balls from these rolls and shape them into Tikkis.

Shallow fry till golden .

My kids are very reluctant to eat bottle gourd. This is a wonderful easy to make them eat it without knowing about it. Certainly going to try it, but with wheat flour.

Well, this tikiya will definitely please my tastebuds. Adding jowar flour sounds absolutely interesting and better way to sneak this healthy flour as well.

What a transformation Vaishali, you can make anything look delicious!..those cutlets seriously look so sinful and no less than deep fried..:)..enjoyed your theme so much!
