how do I create a bootable flash drive for Catalina on a Mac mini M1 running Big Sur?

I have an older 2012 Mac mini that is facing some recovery issues. I need to create a bootable flash drive. For that I am using the Mac mini M1 running Big Sur. However I am not able to download the installable as it says current hardware not compatible. Which makes sense but how do I go about this?

Never mind. I was able to use internet restore for this issue.
