Method
1. In a bowl, mix the choka with the whole wheat flour, gram flour and semolina. Add finely chopped ginger, Dhana-jeera powder, asafetida, turmeric and salt. Finally add the curd and knead the mixture to make it into a semi – soft dough. Add a little water if the dough is not being bound.
2. Roll of the dough into long barrel shapes of 1 inch diameter. Place these barrel shaped dough’s in a steamer with a gap in between as the muthiyas will expand on getting steamed.
3. Steam it for 15 to 20 minutes. When done, remove these steam cooked muthiyas and cut them into 1 inch pieces.
4. In a pan, add oil and allow it to heat on a medium flame. Add mustard seeds, curry leaves, and green chillies (cut length wise). Toss in the cut muthiya pieces and mix well.
5. Cook for 10 – 15 minutes on a slow flame. Serve hot garnished with chopped coriander leaves & grated coconut.
