Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- 1 cup grated carrot
- 1 cup cassava flour
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine grated zucchini and carrot. Squeeze out excess water to ensure the mixture isn't too wet.
Add cassava flour, almond flour, and cilantro to the grated vegetables. Mix well.
Stir in lemon juice, ginger paste, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Add olive oil to the mixture and mix thoroughly to form a dough-like texture.
Sprinkle the baking soda over the mixture and allow it to react with the lemon juice for a minute, creating a slight froth.
Divide the mixture into small portions and shape them into logs or dumplings.
Prepare a steamer and bring water to a boil. Once boiling, place muthiya logs or dumplings onto the greased steamer tray.
Cover and steam for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the muthiya comes out clean.
Allow them to cool slightly before slicing into rounds. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally garnished with additional cilantro.
