Jowar Muthiya recipe
Jowar muthiya is a healthy and delicious Indian snack made from jowar (sorghum) flour. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup jowar flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup grated bottle gourd (lauki) or zucchini
- 1/4 cup finely chopped coriander leaves
- 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (optional)
- Oil for steaming
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine jowar flour, whole wheat flour, grated bottle gourd, chopped coriander leaves, green chilies, and ginger.
- Add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, sugar (if using), lemon juice, and salt. Mix well.
- Gradually add water as needed to form a soft, pliable dough. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Shape the Muthiya:
- Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a cylindrical shape (about 2-3 inches long and 1 inch thick). You can also shape them into oval or round balls if you prefer.
- Prepare for Steaming:
- Grease a steaming tray or rack with a little oil. Arrange the muthiya in a single layer, leaving space between each piece.
- If you’re using a steamer, bring water to a boil and then place the tray in the steamer. Steam the muthiya for about 15-20 minutes or until they are cooked through. You can check by inserting a toothpick or knife; it should come out clean.
- Cool and Slice:
- Once steamed, let the muthiya cool slightly. Then, slice them into bite-sized pieces.
- Optional – Tempering:
- Heat a little oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and a pinch of turmeric powder. Let them splutter, then add the sliced muthiya and sauté for a few minutes until they are slightly crisp on the outside.
- Serve:
- Serve the jowar muthiya warm with chutney or yogurt.
Enjoy your healthy and tasty snack!
