Ingredients

• 1 cup Grated zucchini
• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cups Coconut flour
• 0.25 cup Crushed peanuts
• 1 tablespoon Ginger paste
• 1 tablespoon Green chili paste
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar-free sweetener
• 2 tablespoons Yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Oil
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 10 leaves Curry leaves
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Start by grating the zucchini and squeezing out the excess water using a kitchen towel. Place the grated zucchini in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add almond flour, coconut flour, and crushed peanuts to the bowl with the zucchini.

Step 3

Mix in ginger paste, green chili paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and sugar-free sweetener.

Step 4

Add yogurt and water into the mixture. Knead it to form a dough. The dough should be firm yet pliable. If necessary, adjust the consistency by adding more almond flour or water.

Step 5

Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into log-like rolls.

Step 6

Heat a steamer and place the rolls in the steamer basket. Steam for about 15-20 minutes until they are firm and cooked through.

Step 7

Remove from the steamer and let them cool slightly. Once cooled, cut the rolls into round slices.

Step 8

Heat oil in a large non-stick pan. Add mustard seeds until they start to splutter. Then add sesame seeds and curry leaves.

Step 9

Carefully place the muthiya slices in the pan and sauté them on medium heat until they turn golden brown on both sides.

Step 10

Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped cilantro and drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
