I don't know what you think, but I feel that India has one of the most fabulous varieties when it comes to snack foods!All shapes, sizes, taste, cooked in various ways ( capable of being made various ways) etc etc. Each snack competes with the other vying for your attention. One among such an elite group are Muthiyas. These Gujarati delicacies are cooked in number of ways - I have seen them steamed, stir fried and fried. I have seen them made Vegan and without. The myriad number of variations for making Muthiyas are quite boggling but each one of them is unique in its own way. I have tried quite a lot of them but this version of mine is what I go to most often since it gets done in a jiffy and that really helps when I have sudden guests to entertain.
Mine uses curd but you can very well cut that out to make it Vegan and also I have fried the same. You can use the same dough to steam it too. If you are in a hurry,and if you have sudden guests then this version would make the best go to recipe satisfying both your purposes as a host and also keep the palate of the guests happy. I have had these in my drafts for god knows how long and noticed them just recently and had to post them pronto.!:)
Method
1. Mix all the ingredients together.
2.Bind them together to form a stiff dough. If too stiff add few tsp of water to loosen it up and if too watery, add the flours and rest of the ingredients proportionately to tighten it up. It should allow you to shape it into small sausage shaped pieces or any shape you desire.
3.Deep fry them in oil until golden brown.
4.Place them in a paper tissue to get rid of excess oil if any.
5.Serve warm as a standalone or with chutneys.
This is an excellent option for sitting around munching while watching Super Bowl, your favourite teams playing cricket match, or Wimbledon! So instead of grabbing corn chips why not make these. You add health too thanks to fenugreek :)
