Heat 1 glass of water in a pressure cooker for steaming.

In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons rava, 2 tablespoons besan, and 1/4 cup flour.

Add 1/4 cup chopped fenugreek leaves and 1/4 cup chopped spinach to the mixture.

Season with salt to taste, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, and 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder.

Incorporate 1/4 teaspoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon sugar (optional) into the mixture.

Add 1 tablespoon oil and 2-3 tablespoons yogurt to the bowl.

Mix all ingredients together without adding any water, using leftover khichdi to bind the mixture.

Add approximately 1 cup of leftover khichdi to the mixture and mix until well combined, ensuring it holds together.

Grease your hands with oil and shape the mixture into rolls.

Grease the steaming container with oil and arrange the rolls inside it.

Cover the rolls with oil to prevent sticking.

Place the container in the pressure cooker with the heated water.

Close the lid of the pressure cooker and cook on medium flame until 3 whistles are achieved.

Once done, let the steam release naturally without lifting the weight.

After all steam has released, open the lid and check the rolls with a knife to ensure they are not sticky.

Allow the rolls to cool slightly before cutting them into pieces.

In a pan, heat 1-1.5 tablespoons of oil for tempering.

Add 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds, 1 pinch of asafoetida, and 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds to the hot oil.

Add long green chili slices and a handful of curry leaves, frying until fragrant.

Incorporate a pinch of turmeric powder, red chili powder, and a pinch of salt into the tempering.

Add the cut muthia pieces to the pan and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until they are crispy.

Transfer the muthia to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh coriander, carrot, bell pepper, or tomato as available.
