To begin making the Cauliflower Palak Methi Muthia Recipe, in a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, spinach leaves, methi leaves, gram flour, whole wheat flour, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt, cooking oil, sugar and coriander leaves.
Mix well to combine, and add water to bring the Cauliflower Palak Methi Muthia dough together. We need a nice, firm dough. Do not knead the dough too much.
Once the muthia dough has come together, divide the dough into three parts, now shape them into long hot dog style rolls and set aside.
Heat a steamer on high heat, place these muthia rolls on a greased steamer plate and cover and cook for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, open the lid, insert a greased knife into one of the rolls to check if the Cauliflower Palak Methi Muthia has cooked, if the knife comes out clean it is steamed well.
If not continue to cook for a few more minutes until done. Remove these Cauliflower Palak Methi Muthia from the steamer and allow it to cool.
Once the Cauliflower Palak Methi Muthia have cooled, cut them into roundels and set aside.
