Methi theplas
A good snack during Quarantine. Kids get to consume fenugreek that is so healthy. This is the perfect way you can incorporate some greens in their diet. Theplas go well with almost everything. It can be an accompaniment to meals or just savoured for teatime. Made so quick, it can be eaten with just any sweet, spicy or tangy achars/pickles and masala kadak chai.

1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup chopped Fenugreek / Methi

Wash the methi in running water and strain it completely. Now finely chop the
methi and keep it ready for mixing in the dough.
2.In a large bowl, take the whole wheat flour, add chopped
methi leaves, turmeric, red chilly powder, salt, and half cup cooking oil.

with a rolling pin begin to roll the thepla and dry to make them as thin as
possible.
6.Transfer
on a hot tawa, flip the thepla when one
side is partly cooked. To this side, apply a little oil , now flip again and apply oil on this
side as well.
7.Now
get ready to savour the theplas as they are ready.

it hot with curd and pickle.
Note
Theplas can be stored for a few days. It is the best snack for traveling. Even though its almost May and time t travel to your native village with a whole bunch of homemade fresh theplas, it ok. Enjoy hot theplas with pure ingredients crafted with love especially for you and your family.
You can add crushed garlic to the theplas.
For the plain thepla s( more like Masala Roti) just add red chilly powder, turmeric powder, salt, and oil to the dough while kneading.

Methi thepla are my favorite especially with curd.
