🌿 Authentic Gujarati Methi Thepla – Full Recipe
🌾 Ingredients
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves, finely chopped 🌿
2 tbsp curd (optional, for softness)
1 tbsp oil
½ tsp PIKS Turmeric Powder
1 tsp PIKS Red Chilli Powder 🌶️
1 tsp PIKS Coriander Powder
½ tsp PIKS Cumin Powder
½ tsp PIKS Garam Masala
1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
Salt to taste
Water as needed
Oil or ghee for roasting
👩🍳 Method
1️⃣ Prepare the dough
In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, chopped methi leaves, PIKS Turmeric, Red Chilli Powder, Coriander Powder, Cumin Powder, Garam Masala, sesame seeds, salt, oil, and curd 🌶️✨.
2️⃣ Knead the dough
Add water gradually and knead into a soft, smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 15–20 minutes 🥣.
3️⃣ Shape the theplas
Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin round flatbread using dry flour 🫓.
4️⃣ 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 🔥✨.
5️⃣ Keep soft
Remove and stack in a cloth-lined container to keep them soft.
🍽️ Serving Suggestion
Serve warm with fresh curd, mango pickle, or masala chai ☕ for a truly authentic Gujarati experience 😋🌿.
💡 Tip: Finely chop methi leaves and avoid adding too much water — methi releases moisture and helps keep the dough soft naturally ✨.
Thank You💕
