Instructions
For the Muthiya
- First sqeeze water out of the Bottle Gourd by pressing it against your palms. We can resuse this water. However, if we simply use the bottle gourd it can lead to very soggy cakes. Hence, it is better to first squeeze out the water and then add it to the dough as we prepare it.
- Now mix all the muthiya ingredients together and knead into a soft dough.
- Apply little oil to your palms and make cylindrical rolls of the dough.
- Place the rolls on the steamer and let them steam for 20 -25 minutes.
- Check by pinching the roll with a tooth pick or a knife. If it comes out clean, then the rolls are cooked. If not, let them steam some more.
- Close the heat and let the rolls cool down.
- Once cold, cut them into thin slices vertically across the roll.
For Garnishing
- Heat a wide pan and add oil.
- Add cumin and mustard seeds, hing, and curry leaves. Let the seeds splutter.
- Now add cut pieces of the muthiya.
- Let it cook on medium high flame so that they get hard crust, turn over one by one with a tong and let them cook on other side to get crust.
- Then add sesame seed and garnish with coriander leaves.
