Rasia Mutia. Chickpea flour Dumplings in Spiced Yogurt Broth
Rasia mutia is a yogurt soup from the state of Gujarat in the Western part of India. It is a delicately spiced yogurt broth with chickpea flour dumplings called mutias. The dumplings are made with day old rice, turmeric, chickpea flour, ginger, garlic, and salt. These are then steamed and added to the yogurt broth. To prevent the yogurt broth from curdling when heated the yogurt is blended with chickpea flour that acts as rue for the yogurt soup. A rather unusual yogurt soup that is considered “ordinary” and not worthy of serving for company, you wont find this at any Indian restaurant. However this is a totally unique homemade soup that is delicious and healthy as well. Give it a try! Continue reading Rasia Mutia. Chickpea flour Dumplings in Spiced Yogurt Broth
