Method
For karela muthia
- To make karela muthia, combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl, mix well and knead into a soft dough using little water.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and shape each portion into a cylindrical roll of 150 mm. (6") in length and 25 mm. (1") in diameter.
- Steam the rolls in a steamer for 15 minutes or till the knife comes out clean.
- Cool slightly and slice the muthias into 12 mm ( ½”) pieces and keep aside.
Handy tip
- While grating the bitter gourd, start grating without peeling and avoid including the white portion and seeds inside it.
How to proceed
- For the tempering, heat oil in a broad non-stick pan and add the cumin seeds.
- When the seeds crackle add asafoetida and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds.
- Add the muthia pieces, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Garnish with coriander and serve hot with green chutney.
