Spiced Veggie Dumplings ‘Muthiya’

Muthiya is the kind of Gujarati snack I grew up seeing in home kitchens, and something my mum would make on a Sunday morning with chutney on the side. These little veggie dumplings are soft from the veggies and then crisped up in a fragrant spiced oil until they’re golden at the edges. Made with grated vegetables and chickpea flour, they’re a lovely way to get more plants, fiber, and protein-rich besan into something that still feels cozy, nostalgic, and comforting.
