In a large bowl, combine the grated bottle gourd with besan, rice flour, ginger-green chili paste, turmeric, red chili powder, salt, and chopped coriander.
Add oil and, if using, baking soda; mix well to form a thick, uniform batter.
Cover the mixture and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Shape the batter into small cylindrical dumplings (muthias) with your hands.
Place the muthias in a steamer and steam for 25–30 minutes until thoroughly cooked and spongy.
Serve hot with a side of green chutney.
