There are many versions of Dudhi na Muthiya but I love how my mom makes it. This is one recipe that my mom has perfected and it tastes just like how my Naani made years ago. Every time I visit her she would make a big batch for me do I can put in my refrigerator and eat it for days. They are crispy from
outside and soft from inside. Every bite gives me comfort and wholesome feeling. I am sharing a quick recipe and you can make these in a dhokla tray. These turned out perfect and I am so happy to have this recipe that I can share with all of you. Pair this along with chai for breakfast or chaas if you are eating light lunch.
