Jowar Muthiya (Sorghum Nuggets)

Updated: Nov 25, 2020

Muthiya ( or kapuriya) was one of my favorite Gujarati snack growing up. Just added a simple twist to childhood favorite by using sorghum flour and veggies instead of just plain flour. Its again a easy way to sneak in veggies or use alternate flour for kids!
