Lapsi Methi Muthia/Broken Wheat And Fenugreek Dumplings

Summers are very hot and sultry in India!They come with a vengeance and stay till cool drops of rain do not fall on the parched earth below bringing lovely aromas of the soil and refreshing body and soul alike!_x000D_ _x000D_ But one very tough question is about food.What should we have so that out bodies get energised and we have our daily carbs intact?The answer lies in good carbs and unrefined flours which are taken at :_x000D_ _x000D_ Breakfast_x000D_ Brunch_x000D_ Lunch_x000D_ Try not to have carbs after these mealtimes as you will “feel hot”,bloated and sweat more.If you are more than 21 years of age then try and stick to a “less carb diet” in summers and drink more liquids to easily flush away accumulated toxins in the body._x000D_ _x000D_ Now let me present a recipe which is very healthy to have in summers.It can be made at breakfast,brunch or tea times(if you are game for hot tea on hot afternoons) and is absolutely guilt free.Muthia is a famous Gujarati snack made with wheat flour and assorted veggies.As per the ingredients I chanced upon a recipe from the Late Tarla Dalal which was as healthy as it was tasty and filling.It used Bajra flour instead of wheat flour and Lapsi was an added ingredient with Methi for greens!The recipe contained Garlic and I left it out as adding Garlic in summers means mouthwash every 2 hours during the day with a possibility of “feeling hot” most of the day!_x000D_ _x000D_ I made the recipe and it was an instant hit with family and friends!I cannot thank the late cooking Diva enough to have contributed such wonderful recipes in her lifetime._x000D_ _x000D_ Love you Tarla Dalal!Rest in Peace!
