Methi Thepla

In Gujrat two types of thepla's are prepared ,one is sweet and the other one i'm about to teach you.Thepla can be served with any type of achar.Its usually had as at breakfast but some also have it as a snack.


Ingredients :


Wheat flour                                     1cup
Gram flour                                       2tbsp
Turmeric powder                           1/4th tsp
Salt                                                    1/2 tsp
Red chilly powder                          1/4th tsp
Carom seeds (ajwain)                    1/4th tsp
Oil                                                     2 1/2 tbsp
Ginger (grated)                               2 tsp
Fenugreek leaves                           1/2 cup
(methi patta),finely chopped
Water                                               1/2 cup




Method :


First step is to wash the fenugreek leaves very well under running water and finely chop them when the water has drained off.


In a large mixing bowl take all ingredients and knead a smooth dough.Heat a griddle(Tava).Make small round balls out of the prepared dough and flatten it with the help of a rolling pin.Place the methi thepla's on the heated griddle,apply oil and fry on low heat till both sides are done.
Serve with achar.


Tip : If you find that your thepla becomes bitter when fenugreek(methi) leaves are used then sprinkle salt on chopped fenugreek leaves and leave aside for 10 minutes.Remove water and use.
