It happens many a times when you don’t get any idea of using left-over food in your kitchen!!! I hate when I have to eat the same on the next day… But this is an exception :) 

Mum used to make these muthiya for me as a part of my tiffin-box n I was getting max 1-2 out of them! After a long time, I wanted to make these munchies… so intentionally I cooked more khichdi (so that I don’t call it left-over) :P 

Muththi = Fist & Muthiya = Dumplings shaped using your fist!!! So, here you go with the recipe of crispy dumplings…

Makes: 10-12

1 cup Left-over Khichdi

1/2 cup Coarse Wheat Flour

1/4 cup Semolina

1/2 tsp Red chilly powder

1 tsp Coriander powder

1/4 tsp Amchur powder

Salt, to taste

– Take all the ingredients in a big bowl and knead it like a medium-hard dough.

– Divide the mixture into 10-12 lemon-sized balls.

– Give it a round or flatten shape (press it using your fist).

– Heat oil in deep pan. Slide 3-4 pieces at time carefully and deep fry them till golden brown.

– Serve hot with a cuppa tea :)

– Serves good as a evening snack.

– Goes well with coriander chutney.
