Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • ½ cup wheat flour
  • ½ cup gram flour
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • hot pepper, chopped and seeded to taste
  • 1 small piece of ginger, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 1 Tbsp oil
  • 2 Tbsp milk or yogurt

Directions

1

Mix rice, flours, vegetables and spices together. Add oil and milk.

2

Add more milk if necessary to make manageable but not sticky dough.

3

Form sausage-like shapes (about the size of a D battery) with your hands.

4

You should get 8-10 muthyas.

5

Place a metal colander in a pot with boiling water, making sure that the level of water is below the bottom of the colander.

6

Place the muthyas in the colander, cover and steam until hard, about 30 minutes.

7

Add more water if the water level gets too low.

8

They are good plain or dipped in sauce, such as garlic butter.
