The key to making tasty thali recipe at home are
For rasiya muthiya
- Firstly, for muthiya, the amount of rice should be high which makes muthia soft. You can use leftover khichdi or grated bottle gourd instead of it.
- secondly, once all the ingredients of muthiya are combined together, it has to be kneaded to a soft dough and should not be hard. also while kneading, do not add water as the water in rice is good enough to form the dough.
- Do not forget to whisk the buttermilk before adding it to the heated gravy in a saucepan. there is a high chance that the buttermilk may curdle if not whisked properly.
- Lastly, rasiya muthiya tastes great when prepared slightly spicy.
For bhakhri
- Firstly, I made bhakhri dough with wheat flour also Ghee or oil should be perfect to incorporate into flour, so flour should have a crumbly texture and hold shape between hands.
- Secondly, knead the tight dough for a perfect biscuit-like bhakhri texture. Also, add water in batches while kneading the dough.
- Lastly, roll bhakhri into medium thick and slightly bigger in size. Also, cook bhakhri on medium-low flame till it becomes crispy and golden brown from both sides.
