Muthia is an Indian food. The name is derived from the way it is made, from the 'gripping' action of the hand. It resembles sausage, but is a vegan dish. It is made up of chickpea flour, methi (fenugreek), salt, turmeric, chili powder, and an optional bonding agent/sweetener such as sugar and oil. It is a staple of Gujaratis. This dish is supposed to be good for keeping bowel movement regular, because it includes fenugreek. This dish can be eaten steamed or fried (after steaming); it is equally tasty either way.
