#desiliciouskitchen #methithepla
Methi thepla which is a very popular breakfast recipe in Gujarati cuisine. Theplas are Indian flatbreads made of whole wheat flour, oil and spices. There are many variations to theplas like adding any flour, like chickpeas flour, adding or not adding curds.
These theplas are very soft in texture and retain their softness even after cooling down.
The theplas taste delicious when eaten hot. But after they cool down too they are even more flavorful I can fold them easily even after it is many hours since I made them.
These are so convenient to carry for travel, to give in lunch box as they have very long shelf lives.
In this video, I have shared many tips right from how to prepare the dough, how to roll the theplas and how to fry them. Above all, I will be giving tips on how to make them if you wish to store them for very long periods and how to store them and pack them for travel.

INGREDIENTS
INGREDIENTS TO BE MIXED FIRST
1 cup methi leaves washed and chopped fine
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp red chilli powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp dhaniya powder
1/2 tsp jeera powder
1/4 tsp hing
1/4 tsp carom seeds/ ajwain
1 tsp sesame seed
Grated jaggery 2 tsp /sugar
2 tbsp oil
2 tbsp curd
Mix all these ingredients. Do not knead now. Just mix well. Remember we have not yet added any flour.
If you want to store the theplas for a very long period, do not add curds. You can add lemon juice, instead.
After mixing, allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
INGREDIENTS TO BE ADDED AFTER 10 MINUTES
2 tbsp besan/ chickpeas flour/ kadalamaavu
1 cup wheat flour
After 10 minutes, the methi leaves are soft and the mixture is moist.
Now, add besan and wheat flour. If you want to store the theplas for a very long period, do not add besan. Use only wheat flour in that case.
Mix well. Do not knead now.
Mix well so that the spices are spread evenly.
After mixing well, begin to knead the dough.
If there is sufficient moisture, do not add water.
Be careful while adding water. Add lukewarm water by spoon if necessary.
We needed to add 1tbsp water.
Knead for bout 4 minutes.
The mixture tends to be sticky due to the besan that we have added. So grease your fingers with oil and knead.
Knead a dough which is smooth, but neither too soft nor too hard. The dough should be like the roti dough.
Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, dip fingers into oil and lightly knead the dough for 2 to 3 minutes.
Grease fingers with oil and make balls
Dip in flour and roll. You may get about 10 or 11 theplas
Roll in medium thickness like Rotis
Give pressure in corners once you begin to roll. First, apply pressure everywhere then only in corners.
Keep one on top of the other. The theplas will not stick as we have added oil to the dough.
Heat Tawa on medium
Add a thepla and after about 20 seconds flip
After 10 to 15 seconds on the other side add oil. Do not add ghee
Do not press much with spatula. If you do, theplas will become crisp. But remember, we want them soft
Flip again and again
Do not use curd if you want it for many days.
For travel take it in vacuum-sealed bags. For this, them in zip lock bags and take them to any big sweet shop where they have vacuum seal machines.
Have it with plain curds or pickle or any vegetables
TIPS:
At first mix the methi leaves, curd and spices without adding the flour. This helps the mixture to become moist and lets the leaves turn soft.
If you want to store the theplas for a very long period, do not add besan. Use only wheat flour in that case.
If you want to store the theplas for a very long period, do not add curds. You can add lemon juice, instead.
Add water to the dough only if required and add just enough water as required.
Knead a dough which is smooth, but neither too soft nor too hard. The dough should be like the roti dough.
Roast the theplas on a medium flame
While frying the methi thepla in the Tawa, do not press much with a spatula/ spoon. If you do, theplas will become crisp. But remember, we want them soft
If you want to keep the theplas for very long do not add besan or any other flour. Use only wheat flour in that case.
For travel take it in vacuum-sealed bags.
