Muthiya is a popular snack from the state of Gujarat. Muthiya are made in two ways-steamed and deep fried. Muthiyas are made by using various vegetable and flours.Every one have their own favorite version and combination of ingredients.The most popular among all are-bottle gourd,radish,cabbage ,methi and mix vegetables.
Grated vegetables are mixed with flour and spices to make a soft dough and then the dough is shaped in rolls and steamed .Then the steamed sliced muthiyas are tempered in mustard seeds and sesame seeds to give flavour and crunch
I have already posted Cabbage Muthiya ,today I tried mix vegetable muthiya with whatever vegetable I had in my refrigerator. Muthiyas are best served with green chutney and fried green chilies.

I made this yesterday and am very happy with the outcome. I only did not have corn which I regretted because it would have added a nice crunch. Excellent!
Can you direct me to the recipe for the green chutney and the fried green chillies? I know a green chutney is a green chutney but I wd like to see how you do it.
Thanks ma’am
