Ragi Spinach Muthiya Recipe

Muthiya is one of the healthy Gujarati breakfast / teatime snack. It is traditionally done with wheat / besan flour. I wanted to try with variation esp with millet. I saw few recipes with Ragi. Since I had Ragi flour I decided to give it a try. To enhance nutritional value I decided to try with Spinach. It is perfect for breakfast / teatime snack..
