Ingredients

• 2 cups Grated cauliflower
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 cup Grated zucchini
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons Flaxseed meal
• 1 tablespoon Ginger paste
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 10 pieces Curry leaves

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine grated cauliflower, grated zucchini, almond flour, coconut flour, and flaxseed meal.

Step 2

Add ginger paste, chopped cilantro, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, salt, sesame seeds, and lemon juice to the mixture.

Step 3

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to form a dough-like consistency. If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more coconut flour.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into small portions and shape them into cylindrical logs using your hands.

Step 5

Heat a steamer with water and line the steamer basket with a parchment paper or lightly brush with coconut oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the muthiya logs in the steamer basket, ensuring they do not touch each other.

Step 7

Steam the muthiya for about 20 minutes or until they are firm and cooked through.

Step 8

Once done, carefully remove the muthiya from the steamer and let them cool for a few minutes.

Step 9

While the muthiya are cooling, heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat.

Step 10

Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Then add curry leaves and sauté for a few seconds.

Step 11

Gently add the steamed muthiya logs to the pan and stir fry them for 5-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides.

Step 12

Serve the Paleo Muthiya hot, garnished with extra cilantro or a side of homemade chutney.
