3๏ธโƒฃ Shape the theplas
Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin round flatbread using dry flour ๐Ÿซ“.

4๏ธโƒฃ Cook on tawa
Heat a tawa or flat pan. Place the thepla on it and cook on medium heat. Flip when bubbles appear, apply a little oil or ghee, and cook both sides until golden brown spots form ๐Ÿ”ฅโœจ.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Finely chop methi leaves and avoid adding too much water โ€” methi releases moisture and helps keep the dough soft naturally โœจ.
