Methi Thepla


Serves: 4

Ingredients:
1. 250gms of Fenugreek leaves (methi), finely chopped
2. ½ cup of Gram flour (besan)
3. 3½ cups of Plain flour
4. 1 tbsp of Garlic paste
5. 1 tsp of Carom seeds(Ajwain) and Sesame seeds (Til), each
6. Salt & red pepper as to taste
7. 1 tbsp Oil
8. 2 cups of Water
Procedure:
1. Mix all the ingredients except oil to make a medium soft dough.
2. After the dough is ready, put a few drops of oil on it and knead once again.
3. Now, make small dumplings of equal size to make the theplas.
4. Roll the dumpling into a moderate sized thepla with the help of a rolling pin. You can apply some plain flour to the dumpling, to avoid the thepla from sticking to the base.
5. Meanwhile, heat a skillet on medium high flame. Once the thepla is rolled, put it on the hot skillet.
6. Let it be a bit golden brown and then turn over. Now put a few drops of oil around the thepla and again turn over.
7. Once you see some golden brown spots on the thepla, remove it from the skillet.
8. Methi Theplas are ready, serve hot with pickle or chutney
