    Methi Thepla Recipe

    Chapati dough is made with whole white flour, oil/ghee seasoned with salt by binding flour mostly with water. Chapatis are an everyday food, cooked on a griddle usually without an oil or ghee and often puffed up by cooking on open flame after taking it off the flame, some ghee is spread on the top.

    What is Thepla?

    Thepla is commonly multigrain, typically made with whole wheat flour and chickpea and millet flour. When making theplas for travel, the flour is bound into a stiff dough with milk instead of water and extra ghee/oil. It was invented by the women of the community for their travelling husbands, as Gujaratis are primarily merchants.

    The men travelled from village to village selling their merchandise, but they were not always guaranteed of getting something vegetarian to eat on their journeys, so the THEPLA was invented. Methi theplas are well-known not only in Gujarat, but also throughout the country. Healthy methi thepla is also an excellent diabetic snack.

    This is my little ones favourite. This has lots of flavours in them and you don't need any side dish for this, just a bowl of yogurt and pickle is enough. I thought of sharing it with you because many of you have been asking me the recipe when i shared it in my instagram, BTW if you are not following me on instagram, i think you have to follow.

    Ingredients for Methi Thepla Recipe

    Dry Fenugreek Leaves :

    Fenugreek or methi leaves are high in antioxidants and minerals, which have a variety of health benefits. Dried Fenugreek Leaves have a slightly bitter and earthy flavour
    similar to celery, with a sweet finishing kick similar to maple syrup.

    Carom Seeds :

    Carom seeds are thought to heal ulcers in the digestive tract, including the stomach, intestines, and oesophagus. These are frequently used to treat acid
    reflux, gas, and chronic indigestion.

    Yogurt :

    yogurt makes the Thepla soft.

    Gram Flour  :

    While Indian paranthas are only made with wheat flour, theplas are made with a variety of flours. Gram flour is the most commonly used flour, but millet flour is also used.
