Ingredients
4 tbsp whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)2 tbsp Bengal gram flour (besan)2 tbsp semolina (rawa) (optional)1 cup cooked rice1/2 cup spinach leaves-chopped1/2 cup grated bottle-gourd (lauki)1/4 cup fenugreek leaves (methi)- chopped1 tsp green chilli-ginger paste1 tsp garlic paste1/4 tsp pepper powder1/4 tsp cumin seeds (jeera ) and mustard seeds1/2 tsp baking powder or soda3 tbsp oil2 tbsp lemon juice2 tbsp chopped coriandersalt and sugar- to taste2 tbsp grated coconut-for garnishing
In a bowl, combine the cooked rice,fenugreek and spinach leaves. Sprinkle salt to taste, mix it well and add the bottle-gourd after squeezing out all the liquid. Add all the flours and semolina, ginger-garlic-chilli paste, sugar and baking powder and knead into a soft dough, using water. Apply a little oil on your hands and divide the mixture into 2-3 parts. Then roll them into cylindrical shapes and place in a steamer. You can use a pressure cooker without the whistle. Insert a knife after 20 mins and see that it comes out clean, meaning its cooked. Let it cool a little and slice each roll into thin oval-shaped pieces.
Heat oil in a pan, add the cumin and mustard seeds. When they start spluttering, add the cooked muthiya pieces and saute for 5 mins. Garnish with chopped coriander and grated coconut. Serve the hot Muthiyas with Indian Chai or Green chutney.

APRIL in india we get plenty of fresh fenugreek leaves you can use dry leaves if you dont get freash or you can replace them with freash spinach leaves and if bottol gourd is not available use any green squash .
