    Namaste aunty ji. I am probably as old as your daughter and want to thank you heartily for this effort. My husband and I love North Indian food but seldom can try stuff from websites because everything has onion and garlic in it. We don't include these in our diet. So your site is a boon. Especially the cabbage Muthiya. I have a big cabbage sitting in my fridge and was wondering what to do with this. Will cook these muthiyas 🙂

    Thanks for your reply above, Anjana, and for following me recently 🙂
    Actually I don't have an Idli or Dhokla stand, and no steamer insert either, that's why I had asked the question above.
    But still, I liked your recipe & photo so much, that I was determined to try it today (but with spinach)… I somehow steamed them in pressure cooker without the whistle, and then stir-fried, and when I ate it – I was super addicted to it!
    I never had muthiya before, and now I think I'm going to make extra for next several weeks and store in fridge! 🙂
    And just to let you know, I also really, really liked how you gave other ideas of using these steamed dumplings!

    Hi Mahi!
    steaming time depends on the thickness of the roll and the quantity placed in the container.if you make thin rolls and put only few then they get cooked in lesser time .

    Thank you friends for your lovely comments and suggestions!!!

  19. Maayeka says

    2012-01-04 at

    Hi Nish!
    you can easily steam these muthiya in a idli stand or in a dhokla stand.

    Wishing you a very Happy new year !!!

    Hello Anjana!
    If I don't have the steamer insert, can you suggest me some other idea on how I can make steamed dishes like these?
    Thanks! And also thanks for dropping by my blog 🙂

    yes Balvinder you can make these muthiyas with besan only,wheat flour and semolina is added to give softness and to make them lighter to digest.if you use only besan then add 1 t.s eno and 2 tbls of oil.

  28. Balvinder Ubi says

    2012-01-03 at

    I have thought to cook this recipe but not sure what to use in place of wheat and semolina. The muthiyas look so nice. Can I just make with besan?

    I am in general apprehensive of trying steamed dishes except idly but this looks so tempting..will try it sometimes 🙂
