Methi Thepla

Methi Thepla is a flavorful, spiced flatbread made with fenugreek leaves, perfect for a nutritious breakfast. This versatile dish is easy to prepare and can be enjoyed with yogurt or pickles.

Ingredients

• Whole wheat flour - 1 cup
• Fresh methi (fenugreek leaves) - 1/2 cup, chopped
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Red chili powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cumin powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Oil - 1 tablespoon (for dough)
• Water - as needed for kneading
• Oil - for cooking (approximately 1 tablespoon per Thepla)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, chopped methi leaves, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, and salt.
2. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the dry ingredients and mix well.
3. Gradually add water, kneading the mixture to form a soft, pliable dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
4. After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into a thin circle (approximately 6 inches in diameter).
6. Heat a tava or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled Thepla on the tava.
7. Cook for about 1 minute or until small bubbles form on the surface. Flip the Thepla and drizzle a little oil around the edges.
8. Cook for another minute until golden brown spots appear on both sides. Repeat with the remaining dough.
9. Serve hot with yogurt or pickles.
