Methi Thepla is Gujarati dish. This spicy flatbread is made with a mix of various flour and methi leaves or fenugreek leaves. I am sharing here, How to make Methi Na Thepla at home with this simple recipe.
Methi thepla is Popular Gujarati style flatbread, almost similar to paratha that is made in Punjabi homes. Methi na Thepla often served as healthy breakfast or snack. It is also great lunch box option for kids. These are so easy to roll and hassle free to eat.
My favorite way to eat Thepla is place a couple of tablespoons of aam ka chunda and roll it. Rolled thepla with a cup of hot tea this is sheer bliss.
These are basically paratha with slightly different ingredient profile. Also, compared to paratha Gujarati thepla recipe is a healthy option because very less oil is used. This is tasty, easy, nutritious and convenient to pack and carry. You can serve it hot or cold, can be eaten on it’s own that makes it a perfect food for travel.
The basic mix of flour I use is, whole wheat flour, besan, and bajra. Then I add some methi, grated lauki or palak for taste and nutrition. A mix of spices and herbs make it flavourful and tasty. Palak or Dudhi thepla also taste great.
For making soft methi thepla, I do two things. First I knead the dough with dahi or curd. Second knead the dough for longer duration. While kneading dough, I take care to make it soft, so water to flour ratio is also important. Making perfect dough is the secret for making tasty Gujarati Thepla.
However the soft Thepla are for immediate consumption or can be kept for just that day. If you are making thepla recipe for travel, always use besan and bajra flour with Atta. This way it will be slightly chewy and crisp. But, the shelf life of thepla would be 2-3 days if you use these flours to make thepla.
Here are a few tips you can keep in mind.
I like to serve fresh hot methi na thepla or Dudhi na thepla with curd and some mango pickle. If I am not being traditional, Nepali Aloo ko achar with fresh curd is another tasty way to serve it. For travel the taste of Thepla is best with Mirchi ka achar, mango pickle or sweet chundo is the Best!
The dough’s texture needs to be really elastic otherwise the paratha won’t be soft.
You can add little oil in the dough and then knead the dough for longer duration
Now dust these balls with dry flour, roll them with a rolling pin and shape them in thin circles.
Gently place it over hot tava and cook from both the sides. Flip it when brown spots start to appear and cook from other side similarly. You can apply 1/4 tsp oil before flipping.
Repeat the process till all theplas are cooked. Switch off the heat and have it with pickle or chutney.
