-

Ingredients- 3x

  • 3 cup methi leaves (fenugreek leaves) - tightly packed
  • 3 cup whole wheat flour or 120 grams
  • 0.75 cup besan (gram flour or chickpea flour) or 40 grams besan
  • 0.75 cup bajra flour (pearl millet flour) or 40 grams bajra flour
  • 0.75 cup jowar flour (sorghum flour) or 40 grams jowar flour
  • 1.5 inch ginger (adrak) + 1 or 2 green chilies (hari mirch) - crushed, about 1 to 1.5 teaspoon ginger + green chili paste
  • 1.5 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1.5 teaspoon cumin powder (ground cumin)
  • 1.5 teaspoon coriander powder (ground coriander)
  • 2.25 teaspoon salt or add as required
  • 3 tablespoon oil
  • 12 to 15 tablespoon curd (yogurt) or water for kneading or add as required
  • oil for roasting thepla as required

How To Make Thepla Recipe

1. Rinse 1 cup methi leaves very well in water. Then drain them and chop finely. Keep aside.

2. In a mixing bowl, take 1 cup whole wheat flour, ¼ cup besan (gram flour or chickpea flour), ¼ cup pearl millet flour (bajra flour) and ¼ cup sorghum flour (jowar flour). i have used miller flours but you can skip them if you don’t have. in this case, just add 1.25 cups whole wheat flour and ½ cup besan.

3. add all the spices and herbs

Spices and herbs added are – ½ tsp red chili powder, ½ tsp turmeric powder, ½ tsp cumin powder, ½ tsp coriander powder, 1 tbsp oil and ¾ tsp salt or add as required. Also add ½ inch ginger + 1 or 2 green chilies, crushed. About 1 to 1.5 tsp ginger+green chili paste. 

4. add the chopped methi leaves.

5. mix everything well.

6. add 4 to 5 tablespoons curd/yogurt (for a vegan option add very little water instead of curd).

7. mix again and knead into a dough. Don’t add water while kneading as methi leaves release water.

8. knead the dough very well. Add more curd if required while kneading.

Making Methi Thepla

9. Make medium sized balls from the dough.

10. Take a medium sized ball and sprinkle some flour on it.

11. With the rolling pin begin to roll the thepla.

12. Roll them to a round of about 5-6 inches in diameter.

Cooking Methi Thepla

13. On a hot tawa or skillet place the thepla.

14. Flip when one side is partly cooked.

15. Spread oil on this side.

16. Flip the thepla again.

17. Now spread the oil on this side.

18. Flip a couple of times till you get golden spots and the methi thepla is cooked evenly.

19. You can also press methi thepla with spatula while cooking.

20. Since I plan to serve them after a few hours. I have added more oil so that they remain soft. If you plan to serve them immediately then you can add less oil as I have done in Lauki thepla.

21. Remove and keep it in a roti basket and then serve.
