Step 2 – Now, combine ginger, green chillies, turmeric, and a little salt in a mixture. Grind it coarsely to form a paste.
Step 3- Then, pour the yoghurt into a bowl. Add the prepared paste, salt, red chilli powder, asafoetida, sugar, sesame seeds, fennel seeds, and oil. Mix everything well.
Step 4 – Now add the chopped fenugreek leaves, then coarse wheat flour, regular wheat flour, and gram flour. Add water little by little and knead the dough. However, the dough should not be too soft. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Step 5 – Now apply some oil on your palms, and then take a small portion of the dough and make it into a light oval shape.
Step 6 – Now heat oil in a pan and fry the muthiyas over medium heat. Once golden brown and crispy, remove and let them cool.
