Methi Thepla

Ingredients:-

1.33 cup wheat flour
1/3 cup gram flour
1/4 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 tsp sesame seeds
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/3 tsp carom seeds
1 green chilli, finely chopped
Salt to taste
2/3 cup methi leaves, finely chopped
1/3 cup curd
Water as required
1 tsp oil

Method:-

1. First, in a large mixing bowl, take wheat flour. Add in gram flour to it. Gram flour helps in making the thepla soft.
2. Next add red chilli powder, sesame seeds, turmeric powder, carom seeds and salt to it. Further add green chilli.
3. Now add the finely chopped methi leaves. Give them a rough mix so that all the spices are combined well.
4. Further add curd to it. Adding curd is optional. However adding curd helps remove the bitterness in the thepla. Combine the dough well.
5. Add water as required and knead the dough to a soft and smooth texture. Add oil to the dough and knead again. Keep the dough aside for 10 mins.
6. Now pinch a medium sized ball dough, roll and flatten it. Dust them with some wheat flour. Roll the dough to a thin circle like a paratha.
7. Place the rolled thepla on a hot tawa and cook them for a minute. When the base is partly cooked, flip the thepla.
8. Brush oil and press them slightly. Flip over and brush oil on the other side. Flip the thepla's till both the sides are cooked properly.
9. Keep them aside in a plate. Prepare the remaining thepla's in the same manner.
10. Finally, serve methi thepla with pickle or curd.
