You can add green chilli paste in place of red chilli powder.
- Mix well with hands till the zucchini is squeezed and spices nicely mixed. The aroma of the spices and zucchini will start releasing once the mixing is nicely done. Add the handva flour or kanki korma flour (it is a flour made with rice and lentils).
- Mix well with light hands. The flour will be nicely absorbed. Add a tbsp of yoghurt or more if needed. Mix well.

- Cover with lid and cook on high heat for 15 minutes and then on low heat for 15 minutes or till done. Insert a toothpick to check if the muthia are cooked. If the toothpick comes out clean the muthia are done. Switch off the heat and let the muthia stand for 5 minutes in steamer. Remove the lid.
- Remove the cooked muthia in a plate and let them cool completely. Cut 5 mm thick slices.
- For tempering - Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and sesame seeds. Let they crackle. Add asafoetida and curry leaves and saute.Add the cut muthia and toss gently.
