I love Methi Muthia and got a packet of fried Methi Muthias last week, just to munch on. Then as I was idly browsing what one can do with Muthias, I came several recipes of Muthia being used in curries. The one that caught my eye was Turiya Muthia nu Shaak because it used ridge gourd, one of my favourite vegetables.

Turia Muthiya Nu Shaak from Gujarat

The recipe for Turiya Muthia nu Shaak was very similar to the Beerakaya Senaga Pappu Kura (Turai aur Chana Dal ki Sabzi) we make in Andhra Pradesh, and as I had all the ingredients at home I tried it immediately with great results. I loved the many textures and flavours of this curry; the turia was soft while the muthias added a crunch. As with many Gujarati recipes, there is a touch of sugar in this curry which brought out the sweetness of the ridge gourd while the chilli powder lent it some heat.
