Bhaat Na Rasawala Muthia Rasiya Muthia

A month ago, my in-laws were here. My mother-in-law taught me how to make this rasiya muthia. While they were here, she made it every week because we all love this. Here amount of rice is high which makes muthia soft. But she said that if you have less leftover rice, then add more flour and make dough with water, but add a big pinch of baking soda. This soda will make softer muthia. Rice muthia are simmer in thin yogurt gravy. As it is boiling, muthia will get cooked and gravy will become thick. The texture of muthia is soft like pillow. They will melt in your mouth. While gravy is slightly sour and medium spicy. ** To make this dish jain, please skip the ginger.

Step By Step Photo Instructions:

1. Take all the ingredients for muthia (rice, besan, atta, ginger paste, green chili, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, salt, baking soda, sugar, lemon juice) in a bowl.
2. Mix well and it comes together like a dough, no need to add any water.
3. Grease your hand with oil and shape muthia.
4. Shape all of them and keep it aside. Then start preparing for gravy.
5. take yogurt, salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder and cumin powder in a bowl.
6. Mix well and add water to make thin batter.
7. Heat the oil in a pan on medium heat. Once hot add mustard seeds, once they pop, add cumin seeds and let them sizzle.
8. Then saute in ginger and green chili for 30 seconds.
9. Then add curry leaves.
10. Immediately add prepared yogurt mixture.
11. Let it come to a boil. Make sure that heat is on medium-high.
12. Once it starts to boil (not simmer), add muthia one by one.
13. Let it boil. Stir in between. Check if it becomes dry then add some more water and let it boil again. If muthia breaks into the gravy meaning it does not have enough binding. In that case add little more besan and shape again.
14. It took me about 15 minutes to cook muthia. This cooking time may vary as per size of the muthia. I have added extra 1 cup of water in between. Check the muthia by breaking and tasting it. If not cooked then you will feel the raw besan. Once cooked it will be soft like pillow.
15. Lastly add chopped cilantro.
16. Mix well and serve. Serving suggestion: Enjoy this rasiya muthia as an afternoon snack. Or have it as a light meal with a roasted urad papad on side. Did you try this bhaat na rasawala muthia recipe? I’d love to hear about it! Leave a review in the comment section below.
