cabbage jowar muthia recipe | Gujarati kobi jowar muthia | Indian cabbage dumpling | with 22 amazing images.

cabbage jowar muthia recipe is a Gujarati kobi jowar muthia which is an Indian cabbage dumpling. Here, we have prepared the famous Gujarati snack, cabbage jowar muthia, using jowar flour along with other ingredients like grated cabbage, curds and flavouring ingredients like green chillies and ginger. Since the dough is steamed before tempering, the jowar flour also becomes easily digestible.

Jowar is an ancient grain valued for its wholesomeness and unique health benefits. It also has an interesting, rustic flavour that is sure to go down well with everybody, especially when prepared interestingly.

Notes on cabbage jowar muthia recipe. 1. Bottle gourd, spinach, carrots, fenugreek leaves can also be added to fortify the Gujarati kobi jowar muthia. 2. You can switch jowar flour and make use of other healthy flours like atta, bajra flour, besan or even nachni flour. 3. Also, if the mixture becomes too watery/gooey, you can add more flour until all the ingredients come together as a soft dough. You should be able to give it a cylindrical roll shape when you grip the mixture between your hands. 4. Remember to make the dumplings as soon as the dough is mixed, otherwise water tends to ooze out making the dough soft and sticky.

Enjoy these irresistible cabbage jowar muthias with green chutney and also do try other variants of muthia like Nachni Methi Muthia, Palak and Doodhi Muthia and Quinoa Muthia.

How to make cabbage jowar muthiya
  1. Divide the Gujarati cabbage muthiya dough into 2 equal portions. Remember to make the dumplings as soon as the dough is mixed, otherwise water tends to ooze out making the dough soft and sticky.
  2. Shape each portion into 125 mm. (5") cylindrical roll. If you are facing difficulties in shaping the kobi muthia then apply little oil on your palms.

For steaming the cabbage jowar muthia
  1. To steam cabbage jowar muthia | Gujarati kobi jowar muthiya | Indian cabbage dumpling |   grease a sieve with oil using a brush. This prevents the muthia from sticking to the plate. Also, heat the water in a steamer.
  2. Arrange both the kobi jowar muthia rolls on a greased sieve. Keep proper distance between both the rolls while placing them so they do not stick to each other   on steaming. If you do not have a dhokla steamer, you can steam the cabbage jowar muthia in a pressure cooker without whistle or in a pan with little water and keep this sieve with muthiya in the pan and steam it by covering the pan with a lid.
  3. Steam in a steamer for 20 to 25 minutes. If they appear soggy after steaming, steam again for a few more minutes, but remember that it does tend to firm up slightly on cooling.
  4. Insert a toothpick or knife to check if it comes out clean. Allow the cabbage jowar muthiya to cool completely. If you try to slice while they are hot, the muthiya tend to crumble and break. Once cooled, cut each roll into 13 mm. (½”) thick slices and keep aside.

Tempering the cabbage jowar muthia
  1. While tempering the cabbage jowar muthia | Gujarati kobi jowar muthiya | Indian cabbage dumpling |   is optional, I would suggest you to do it as it enhances the flavour greatly. For tempering the bafela cabbage muthias, heat the oil in a broad non-stick pan. Once the oil is moderately hot, add the cumin seeds. Also, you can add sesame seeds and mustard seeds.
  2. When the seeds crackle, add the remaining ¼ tsp of asafoetida.
  3. Add the curry leaves and sauté for a few seconds.
  4. Add the sliced muthias.
  5. Mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes or till they turn light brown in colour, while tossing gently and occasionally. If you want slightly crisp muthiyas then cook it for a longer period of time.
  6. Garnish the cabbage jowar muthia | Gujarati kobi jowar muthiya | Indian cabbage dumpling |  with coriander and serve hot with green chutney. Also, you can garnish with freshly grated coconut.

I had always tried muthias with wheat flour, but this cabbage and jowar muthias is something different. The cabbage and jowar is a nice combination. Unlike other muthias, there is no fruit salt in this recipe, yet it is so soft. There is no need to add the fruit salt. After the tempering, they taste even better.
