Mix whole wheat flour, gram flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin seeds, salt, sugar, and baking soda in a large bowl.

Add chopped fenugreek leaves to the dry mixture and combine well.

In a separate bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice, and water until well blended.

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring to form a smooth batter.

Ensure the batter is thick yet pourable; adjust water as needed.

Grease a steaming tray or plate with oil to prevent sticking.

Pour the batter into the prepared tray, spreading it evenly.

Fill a steamer pot with water and bring it to a boil.

Place the tray in the steamer, cover, and steam for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Remove the tray from the steamer and let it cool slightly before slicing into pieces.

In a small pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds; let them splutter.

Add sesame seeds and allow them to toast lightly.

Pour the tempering over the steamed muthia pieces and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
