Also, some ginger garlic paste for flavor and Indian spices like turmeric powder and garam masala, cumin seeds which provide a distinctive aroma to the muthia and you can also use fennel seeds. Further some sugar, some fresh coriander leaves, baking soda which would help making the doodhi muthia soft. asafeotida and oil. All the ingredients are combined together and formed into a dough.
