Slit the EggPlants and New Potatoes into 4 sections of the bottom half keeping the top half intact for stuffing the Chutney.Keep immersed in Water to prevent from discolouring.

Divide into 2 portions and using half of one stuff the sectioned Egg Plants and New Potatoes with it.Use the other half to smear all over all the cubed Vegetables.
METHOD
Steam these Muthias in the Steamer for 30 minutes till almost cooked and firm.
Use a flat heavy bottomed Vessel for cooking this Dish.The Vessel should have a tight fitting Lid to seal in the Steam while this cooks.
The first layer at bottom should be of the stuffed Egg Plants and New potatoes,followed by a layer of split Field beans.Over this apply an even thin layer of Chutney.On this
lay the Chutney smeared cubed Yams,Green Bananas,Sweet Potatoes and readied Muthias and on this layer again spread a layer of Chutney.Top with the remaining split Field Beans and pour in the Oil round the edges evenly distributing it round the Vessel.Add the Water and cover with a tight fitting lid and place on low flame till cooked through.Allow Steam to subside and serve hot as the main side dish.
