Drumstick leaves are very beneficial for sugar control, weight loss, and knee pain. Today, I made muthia using these leaves. Muthia is a famous Gujarati dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast or dinner. It uses a variety of flours and vegetables. Today, I made muthia with drumstick leaves, which is very healthy. In winter, you can use drumstick leaves like this to make a nutritious dish.

Steps

30 minutes

1

Clean and thoroughly wash the drumstick leaves. Drain the water. In a large bowl, add the coarsely ground whole wheat flour.
2

Add the handvo flour (or chickpea flour), salt, and drumstick leaves to the bowl.
3

Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and carom seeds. In a blender, combine yogurt, a little water, green chilies, ginger, garlic, and jaggery. Blend until smooth. Add this mixture to the flour. Then add oil and baking soda.
4

Mix everything well and knead into a soft dough, similar to roti dough. Add water if needed. Pour water into a steamer and bring it to a boil. Grease the steaming tray or plate with oil, shape the dough into logs, and place them in the steamer. Steam the muthia until cooked through. Let them cool, then cut into pieces.
5

For tempering, heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. When they start to pop, add green chilies and chopped garlic.
6

Add sesame seeds and a little red chili powder, then mix. Add the sliced muthia pieces.
7

Mix well so the muthia are coated with the tempering. Your super healthy drumstick leaf muthia are ready to serve.
