The name of this food is derived from the Gujarati words "matlu", which means earthen pot and "undhu", which means upside down, as they have been traditionally cooked upside down underground in earthen pots fired from above. The dish is a seasonal one, and includes the vegetables that are available on the South Gujarat coastline during the winter season, including green beans, unripe banana, muthia, and purple yam. These are then cooked in a spicy curry that at times includes coconut.
