Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder haldi
- 1 tsp Chili Powder mirch
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
Wet Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Oil vegetable oil or ghee
- 2 tbsp Yogurt curd
- 2 tbsp Fenugreek Leaves finely chopped, fresh
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup Water as needed for dough consistency
Instructions
Make the Dough
- Combine whole wheat flour, turmeric powder, chili powder, salt, oil, yogurt, and chopped fenugreek leaves in a large bowl.
- Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Add a tablespoon of oil to the dough, knead briefly, cover with a damp cloth, and let rest for 10-15 minutes.
Shape and Cook the Theplas
- Divide the dough into 14 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a 5-inch diameter circle using a little dry flour to prevent sticking.
- Heat a non-stick griddle or tava over medium heat.
- Cook each thepla for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly golden brown and cooked through. Use a little oil to prevent sticking.
Serve
- Serve the Methi Theplas hot with your favorite chutney or pickle.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Methi Theplas
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of ajwain (carom seeds) to the dough.
- Don't over-knead the dough; it should be soft and slightly sticky.
- If the dough feels too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time.
- For crispier theplas, cook them on higher heat for a shorter time.
