How to make Bhaat Na Muthiya Dhokla Recipe | Gujarati Farsan | Snack
To make the Bhaat Na Muthiya Dhokla Recipe, we will first prepare the steamer by filling it with water and grease the steamer plates.
Using a large wide bowl combine the cooked rice, gram 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.
Divide the above mixture into 15-20 equal portions and shape them into ovals. Or you can shape them into longer logs and cut them into rounds after they are steamed.
Place the portions of the dumplings 1 inch apart on the greased plates and steam on high heat for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and allow the Muthia to rest for 5 minutes with the steamer lid opened. Transfer the steamed bhaat na muthia portions onto a serving platter.
Next we will make the seasoning for the Bhaat na Muthiya. 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 Muthiya and garnish with the grated coconut and coriander leaves and serve.
