Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cup Wheat Flour adjust as needed for dough consistency, whole
- 1/2 cup Gram Flour besan
- 1 tsp Chili Powder adjust to your spice preference, red
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
Wet Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Clarified Butter ghee, plus extra for cooking the theplas
- 1 cup Fenugreek Leaves finely chopped, fresh, methi, tightly packed
- 3/4 - 1 cup Water add gradually until dough is formed
Instructions
Prepare the Fenugreek Leaves
- Wash the fenugreek leaves thoroughly and chop them finely. Alternatively, you can pulse them briefly in a food processor.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, gram flour, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.
Add Wet Ingredients
- Add the ghee and chopped fenugreek leaves to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly.
Knead the Dough
- Gradually add water, kneading until a soft, slightly firm dough forms. Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
Shape and Roll
- Divide the dough into 12-14 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin, 6-7 inch circle using a lightly floured surface.
Cook the Theplas
- Heat a non-stick griddle or pan over medium-low heat. Place a thepla on the hot surface and cook until bubbles appear on the surface.
Flip and Finish
- Flip the thepla and cook the other side. Apply a little ghee to both sides for added flavor and to prevent sticking. Cook until light brown spots appear, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Serve
- Remove the cooked theplas from the griddle and serve hot with yogurt, pickle, chutney, or your favorite accompaniment.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Methi Theplas
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) to the dry ingredients.
- Don't over-knead the dough; a slightly soft dough yields softer theplas.
- If the dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of milk or water at a time.
- For crispier theplas, cook them on slightly higher heat.
