મુઠીઆ/મુઠીયા (Muṭhiā/Muṭhiyā) is a Gujarati dish from India.[1] The name is derived from the way it is made, from the 'gripping' action of the hand. It is a vegetarian dish. It is made up of besan (chickpea flour), whole wheat flour, methi (fenugreek), salt, turmeric, chili powder, fresh ginger,[2] green chilies,[2] and an optional bonding agent/sweetener such as sugar and oil.
This dish can be eaten steamed or fried (after steaming). In Gujarat, this item is known as મુઠીયા/વેલણીયા/વાટા (Muṭhiyā/Velaṇiyā/Vāṭā) etc. This item is known as 'vaataa' in Charotar area located in Central Gujarat.
