Bhaat Na Rasiya Muthiya, Rasawala Muthia
Bhaat Na Rasiya Muthiya or Rasawala Muthia is a traditional Gujarati dish. This is probably one of the best uses of leftover rice.
This recipe uses basic Indian pantry ingredients. You can have it either as a snack or as a meal. Since it contains a good amount of carb and protein, this is a complete meal in itself.
If you want to make a sattvik variation of this recipe, you simply need to skip garlic. Also, adding Kashmiri chilli lends a vibrant reddish color to the gravy. But you may skip chilli altogether or adjust the quantity as per your liking.
The state of Gujarat in India is famous for its vegetarian cuisines. The recipe credit for this recipe goes to Mrs. Chanchani from Dhanbad. I first tasted this dish almost 35 years ago when Mrs. Chanchani (my sister’s landlady in Dhanbad) visited us in Jamshedpur and she had prepared it. I never knew the official name for this dish then. Later I searched for this recipe in Gujarati Food channels and came to know that this is indeed called Rasiya Muthiya.
I am sure that you will definitely try this delicious Bhaat Na Rasiya Muthiya and leave your comments.
