Instructions

Mix well.
  • Sprinkle some water and bind the muthiya mixture. Do not knead the soft dough.
  • Grease your palm and make small-sized round muthiya. Keep them aside.

For the gravy

  • In a cooker, add 3 tbsp oil, ½ tsp mustard seeds, ½ tsp cumin seeds, 3-4 methi dana, 1 bay leaf, 2 cloves, 1-inch cinnamon, and a pinch of hing. Sauté it.
  • Then add the crushed chili-garlic-ginger paste and sauté it.
  • Now lower the flame, add ½ tsp turmeric powder, ½ tsp red chili powder, ½ tsp coriander powder, and sauté it.
  • Then add 3 cups of water and bring it to a boil.
  • Now, into the boiling water, add the muthiya. Cover the pressure cooker lid and cook on high flame for 2 whistles. Do not cook the muthiya on low flame.
  • After 2 whistles, open the lid. The muthiya should be properly cooked.
  • Now take 1 cup of sour curd, add it to a bowl, and whisk it until smooth.
  • Then add it to the cooker and mix well. Stir continuously until the mixture starts to boil.
  • Cook the muthiya with the curd-based gravy for 5 minutes so that the muthiya absorb the gravy.
  • The gravy will become slightly thick. Add jaggery and mix well.
  • Now, in a tadka pan, add 1 tbsp oil, ¼ tsp mustard seeds, ¼ tsp cumin seeds, some curry leaves, 2 dry red chilies, and sauté. Then add ½ tsp Kashmiri red chili powder and add the tadka into the gravy. Mix well.

Notes

  • Crush the chili-ginger-garlic paste coarsely.
  • The proportion of rice and flour should be equal.
  • Add very little water while binding the muthiya dough.
  • Add muthiya to boiling water so that it easily retains its shape.
  • Heat on high flame for 2 whistles.
  • The curd should be at room temperature.
  • Whisk curd with muthiya dough to help thicken the gravy mixture.
  • After adding curd, stir the mixture continuously until it starts boiling.
  • Jaggery balances the flavor of the rasiya muthiya gravy. You can use sugar instead of it.
