Muthiya is a popular Indian snack from the Gujarati cuisine. It is typically made by steaming and pan frying the spiced dough. Usually it made with a whole wheat flour, gram flour, spices and vegetables. In Cabbage Jowar muthiya we will use Jowar flour instead of the whole wheat flour.
Cabbage Jowar Muthiya:
Cabbage jowar muthiya is a dish that combines cabbage and jowar flour. It is a variation of the traditional muthiya where finely shredded cabbage and sorghum flour is mixed with spices and steamed to create savoury dumplings
Benefits of using jowar in cabbage jowar muthiya:
Jowar , or sorghum flour used in this muthiya brings several health benefits to the dish. Jowar is rich in dietary fibre, which aids in digestion and helps maintain a healthy digestive system. Additionally, it is a good source of essential nutrients such as iron, phosphorous and magnesium.
The inclusion of jowar in this dish contributes to a lower glycemic index, making it a suitable option for those looking to manage blood sugar levels. It also provides a gluten free alternative for individuals with gluten sensitivities.
Moreover, the nutritional profile of jowar includes antioxidants that can help combat oxidative stress in the body. This makes cabbage jowar muthiya not only a flavourful choice but also a wholesome and nutritious one, offering a balance of taste and health benefits.
Which are the millets that we can use in making muthiya?
Various millets can be used in making muthiya, providing both nutritional value and a unique taste. Some commonly used millets for muthiya include:
- Bajra(Pearl millet): It offers a nutty flavour and is rich in iron and fibre.
- Jowar(Sorghum): Adds a slightly sweet taste.
- Ragi(Finger millet): Known for its high calcium content and earthy flavour.
- Foxtail millet: Has a mild taste and is rich in protein and essential nutrients.
- Little millet: Adds a subtle nutty flavour and is a good source of vitamin B and minerals
- Kodo Millet: High in fiber and with a nutty taste.

Where do I get my millets from?
I source it from a local farmer/ agriculturist whose agricultural practices are very transparent and who makes sure the nutritional values is delivered to the customer. Check out Goodness farms. You could source it from any vendor whom you are comfortable with.
