    • It is made from the leftover khichdi so I prefer utilizing it fresh. However it can be freezed for a week after it is steamed into log. Just before serving thaw the muthia log cut it into slices and toss them in the tempering made with oil, mustard seeds, sesame seeds, curry leaves and serve.
