    Lauki Nu Muthia is a healthy Gujarati breakfast dish made with bottle gourd, flours, and spices. This can be steamed or deep fried and often served for breakfast or as a snack with different chutneys.

    I have made Palak Muthias very long ago and have been wanting to make these bottle gourd version. I was so glad that I could do it. I had this reserved for my Sunday breakfast and simply loved it so much! If you can believe how delicious this must have been that I skipped our regular Poori chana for this.

    Even Konda enjoyed this along with me and since it was my breakfast, she let me have more. This is surely something I will be making again!

    Today is the last one in the Breakfast series across India for the final week of Feb#85.

      Such a healthy way to start the day and it is so nice of Konda to let you have more 🙂 Valli, looks like your sbs collages got swapped, the 2nd (tempering) and the 3rd (steaming) collage.

      I simply love this kind of gluten free snacks, a complete meal for me. Just need a plate rite now to keep myself warm as the temperature is getting very low here.

      Srivalli you've made my all time favourite muthias... I love doodhi ones. Next time you make them add a bit of fenugreek too. It tastes so good.
