Raswala Muthia

Raswala muthia is a Gujarati cousin of dumpling soup :) LOL, but that is true, muthias are vegetable dumpling and in this recipe they are not steamed but boiled and cooked in yogurt and spice soup. They are so tasty and comforting...just what I wanted after Diwali meals. 

Adding Zucchini to make muthias not only makes it nutritious but gives it a great texture and bite.
