Recipe
1
Combine grated bottle gourd, whole wheat flour, gram flour, ginger-green chili paste, half the spices, and salt into a soft dough without adding extra water.
2
Divide the dough into cylindrical rolls and steam them in a steamer for 15-20 minutes until firm and cooked through. Let them cool slightly, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
3
Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan and crackle mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and asafoetida.
4
Whisk the yogurt with a little water and remaining spices, then pour it into the pan while stirring continuously to prevent curdling.
5
Add the sliced muthia pieces into the simmering gravy and cook on low heat for 5 to 7 minutes until flavors meld.
6
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander and serve hot with warm Bajra Rotla.
