Instructions
Prepare the Muthia Dough
- Mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the grated carrot, amla, coriander, yogurt, and ginger. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. The dough should not be sticky.
Check Seasoning

Preheat and Prepare

Shape and Bake
- Lightly oil your hands. Roll the dough into small balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter). Flatten each ball slightly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
Flip and Bake Again
- Carefully flip the muthias. Bake for another 10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Make the Tempering
- While the muthias are baking, heat oil in a small pan. Add mustard seeds; once they splutter, add red chilies and curry leaves. Sauté briefly until fragrant. Stir in sesame seeds and asafoetida.
Serve
- Remove the baked muthias from the oven and transfer them to a serving plate. Pour the tempering over the muthias. Serve hot, optionally with mint chutney.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Baked Carrot & Amla Muthia
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of sugar to balance the tartness of the amla.
- If you prefer a spicier muthia, increase the amount of red chili powder to your liking.
- Don't overmix the dough; a slightly coarse texture adds to the muthia's charm.
- For a crispier bottom, bake the muthias on an ungreased baking sheet for the last few minutes.
