Now take a momo-maker or an idli stand to make muthia. Fill water in the vessel and put the stand over it. Start keeping all the muthia on the stand one by one and cover it with a lid. Steam the muthia for about 25-30 minutes. Now put a fork inside the muthia to check if it is properly steamed and cooked. If the fork comes out clean, then the muthia is ready. Turn off the flame.

Let them cool down and then cut into thick 1.2 inch pieces. Now it is the time to tamper these pieces.
