[directions title=”Directions”]

  1. Mix all the ingredients to make muthiya and keep it aside for 15-20 minutes. Due to salt, pumpkin will start diffusing the water in the flour and the flour will become wet.ingredients needed for making muthiyaIMG_6518IMG_6519
  2. Mix the ingredient to form soft dough. There is no need to add water in the dough, water diffused by pumpkin is enough to form dough.IMG_6521
  3. Make small muthia as shown in picture from the doughIMG_6523
  4. Keep this muthiya in a grease plate and steam it for 20 – 30 minutes. You can either steam it in pressure cooker without whistle or in a pan with little water and keep this plate with muthiya in the pan and steam it by covering this panIMG_6526IMG_6527IMG_6528IMG_6533
