Instructions
Prepare the Muthia Dough
- Combine boiled broken wheat, whole wheat flour, pearl millet flour, fenugreek leaves, yogurt, green chili paste, ginger paste, turmeric powder, garam masala, salt, lemon juice, sugar, and baking soda in a large bowl. Mix well to form a semi-soft dough. Do not add water.
Steam the Muthia
- Roll the dough into small balls (about 1-inch diameter). Steam the muthia in a steamer basket over high heat for approximately 30 minutes, or until cooked through.
Make the Tadka (Tempering)
- Heat oil in a small pan. Add mustard seeds and allow them to splutter. Add curry leaves, sesame seeds, and asafoetida. Sauté briefly until fragrant.
Combine and Serve
- Add the steamed muthia to the tadka pan and gently toss to coat them evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the muthia to brown slightly. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot. Enjoy with masala curd (spiced yogurt) if desired.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Muthia
- For a smoother dough, you can pulse the ingredients briefly in a food processor before mixing by hand.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies and salt to your preference.
- If the dough is too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time, mixing until the desired consistency is achieved. It should be soft but not sticky.
- Ensure that the muthia are steamed until fully cooked to avoid a raw taste in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
