Bhaat Na Rasawala Muthia (Rasiya Muthia)
Rasawala Muthia or Rasiya Muthia Recipe – A beloved Gujarati dish in my family, these muthias are a cherished favorite. Crafted from leftover cooked rice, they gently simmer in a flavorful yogurt-spices gravy. I prepare this dish whenever there's leftover rice in the fridge.
