In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, grated zucchini, cabbage, carrot, ginger paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and cilantro. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Add lemon juice, baking soda, and 2 tablespoons of water to the mixture. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a dough-like consistency.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and shape each portion into a cylindrical log.
Place a steamer pan on medium heat with enough water in the bottom to steam. Allow the water to come to a boil.
Grease a steamer plate with a little coconut oil to prevent sticking. Place the shaped logs onto the greased plate and steam for about 15 minutes on medium heat.
Once the muthiyas are fully cooked (they should be firm to the touch), remove them from the steamer and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
Heat coconut oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and sesame seeds and let them crackle.
Add the steamed muthiyas to the pan and gently sauté them until they turn light golden brown on all sides.
Serve hot with a side of mint chutney or yogurt for a perfect keto-friendly snack.
