Ingredients
- 2 cup Wheat Flour also known as atta, whole
- 1 cup Sorghum Flour also known as jowar atta
- 1/2 cup Gram Flour also known as besan
- 1 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tsp Carom Seeds also known as ajwain
- 1 cup Fenugreek Leaves also known as methi, finely chopped, fresh
- 1 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 1 tbsp Chili Paste adjust to taste, green
- 2 tbsp Jaggery also known as gud, grated or powdered
- 2 tbsp Oil plus extra for cooking
- Water as needed, to make a soft dough
Instructions
Preparing the Dough
- Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add chopped fenugreek leaves, ginger-garlic paste, green chili paste, jaggery, and oil. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead thoroughly for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes, covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
Shaping and Cooking the Theplas
- Divide the rested dough into small, equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin, 6-8 inch diameter circle using a rolling pin. Heat a griddle or tawa (flat griddle) over medium heat. Cook each thepla for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown spots appear and it's cooked through. Lightly brush with oil during cooking for extra softness and to prevent sticking.
Serving
- Serve the hot Methi Theplas immediately. Enjoy them with a dollop of yogurt, your favorite chutney, or a spicy pickle.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- Fresh is Best: Use fresh fenugreek leaves for the most vibrant flavor. If using dried, reduce the amount by half.
- Adjust the Spice: Feel free to adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference. For a milder thepla, use less or omit them entirely.
- Don't Overknead: Overkneading can result in tough theplas. Knead just until the dough is smooth and pliable.
- Rolling Technique: For perfectly thin theplas, use a lightly floured surface and rolling pin. Ensure even thickness to ensure even cooking.
