Using a large wide bowl combine the cooked rice, gram flour, whole wheat flour, grated ginger, turmeric powder, asafoetida powder, red chilli powder, coriander leaves, bottle gourd and oil for the muthias and mash well using a masher or with your hands. The mixture will look like a firm ball of dough.

Next we will make the seasoning for the Bhaat na Muthia. Heat oil in a small pan on medium heat; add the mustard seeds, sesame seeds, curry leaves and allow them to crackle.
Drizzle the seasoning on top of the muthias and garnish with the grated coconut and coriander leaves and serve.
