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-
To steam cabbage jowar muhtia | Gujarati kobi jowar muthia | 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.

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.

When the seeds crackle, add the remaining ¼ tsp of asafoetida.

Add the curry leaves and sauté for a few seconds.
