  • 8 tbsp whole wheat flour
  • 3 tbsp oats
  • 1 tbsp yogurt
  • ½ tsp cumin seeds
  • ¼ tsp sugar
  • Salt as needed
  • 2 tsp oil
  • ½ tsp mustard seeds
  • ¼ tsp sesame seeds
  • Few curry leaves
  • 2 red chili
  • 1 tbsp coconut

Instructions

  • Peel the skin of the bottle gourd and grate this in a fine grater.
  • Squeeze the excess water from the grated bottle gourd( Use your maximum strength while squeezing).
  • Add wheat flour, oats, cumin seeds, salt, sugar, and yogurt to this and make a sticky dough.
  • Make this into small cylindrical shapes.
  • Steam this for 20 mins(check by inserting a toothpick.) It should come out clean.
  • When it is cool, cut this into small roundels.
  • In a pan add oil and temper with mustard seeds, broken red chilli, and curry leaves.
  • Add the cut muthias to this.
  • Saute for a minute.
  • Add the sesame seeds and switch off the flame.
  • Add the grated coconut(if using) and transfer it to a serving plate.
  • Enjoy hot tea.

Notes

  1. As bottle gourd leaves excess water do not add much yogurt to make the dough
  2.  While making with palak or methi leaves more yogurt can be used.No need to use water to make a dough.
  3. Garam masala, red chili powder ginger garlic paste can be added while making the dough.
  4. The cylindrical dumplings can be microwaved also instead of steaming and I strongly recommend this too.
