Ingredients
For the Dough
- 1/3 cup Whole Wheat Flour Atta
- 2 tbsp Besan Gram flour
- 2 tbsp Carrot Grated
- 1 tbsp Coriander Leaves Finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Curd Softens the dough
- 1 pinch Turmeric Powder
- 1 pinch Red Chilli Powder Optional - see Spice Note
- 1 pinch Carom Seeds Ajwain, optional
- 1 pinch Salt Or as required
- 1/2 teaspoon Oil To knead into the dough
- 2 tbsp Water Approximately, adjust as needed
For Cooking
- 1 teaspoon Oil For roasting
Instructions
Preparing the Dough
- Combine whole wheat flour, besan, grated carrot, coriander leaves, curd, turmeric, red chilli powder, carom seeds and salt in a bowl. Add the oil and mix.
- Add water gradually and knead into a soft, pliable dough - it should be slightly softer than a regular roti dough. Cover and rest for 10 minutes.
Making the Theplas
- Divide the dough into 2 portions. Roll each into a thin circle, dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking.
- Heat a tawa on medium heat. Cook the thepla, flipping and spreading a little oil on both sides, until light golden spots appear on each side. Repeat for the second thepla.
Packing
- Let the theplas cool slightly, then fold into quarters or roll and pack in the tiffin box with curd in a separate small container and grapes on the side.
Recipe Notes
Tiffin Pairing
Curd and grapes balance the lightly spiced thepla and add natural sweetness.Make-Ahead Tip
Grate the carrot the night before and store it covered in the fridge. The dough itself is best mixed fresh for the softest texture.Quick Swap
Swap the grated carrot for grated bottle gourd or finely chopped fenugreek leaves for a more traditional Gujarati-style thepla.Allergen Note
Contains wheat/gluten (flour) and dairy (curd).Spice Note
Red chilli powder is optional and can be left out entirely for a very mild thepla.Packing Tip
Theplas stay soft for hours and travel well folded into quarters, making them one of the easiest tiffin items to pack ahead of time.Related Posts You May Like
