Thepla ( Spicy Chapati with Fenugreek Leaves)

Gurajrati flate bread for light meal, picnic food, snack with tea or breakfast.

Ingredients:

  • 200 gm Flour
  • 60 gm Fenugreek Leaves (Home grown or shop bought)
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Sesame seeds
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tsp Fresh Chili Paste
  • 1 tbsp Oil
  • 3/4 soaked dates if using home grown leaves as they are bit bitter
  • 100 ml Boiling water

Recipe:

  • In a large bowl, take flour and add all ingredients. If possible, use dates’ paste or make a paste yourself. Since there is only two dates, I am going to chop them really fine. Add dates to the rest of the ingredients.
  • Now add boiling water to the flour and using a spoon bind all the ingredient to make dough. Need the dough for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Make small balls for chapati. Now using dry plain flour, roll thepla out like chapati. Cook it on the preheated tava. Cook thepla on first side for 20 second or so. Now flip it on the other side and cook it for 40 to 50 seconds. Now flip it back again on the first side and pour oil with a small spoon all around the thepla. Using a spatula, press it down and it might rise a bit. Take them out.
  • Enjoy with the cup of milk, chai, ketchup or even mango pulp.
