16)Water for kneading the dough.
Preparation:
Chop methi leaves finely
Rinse it under running water and keep it aside for 5 minutes till water is drained out and the methi leaves are almost dry.
In a Mixture Grinder grind a smooth paste of green chilly, garlic and ginger together without any water.
 
Method:
 
Take a big shallow plate for kneading the Thepla flour.
In the plate put wheat flour and gradually add all the ingredients one by one as mentioned above and with the help of little water, as required, start binding the dough.
The dough should neither be too stiff nor too soft.
Once the dough is ready apply little oil on it and make it smooth and even.
 
The final step:
Once the dough is ready divide the dough into small rounds to be rolled into 5 inch diameter circle with the help of dry flour for rolling it.
Take a skillet preferably a nonstick as it becomes easy for beginners to make theplas.
Put the rolled thepla on the skillet and let it cook on high flame for half a minute.
Once you see small boils coming on the thepla, immediately reverse the side and let it cook.
Pour little oil on both sides and let it cook.
Once cooked remove from flame and keep it on tissue paper to absorb excess oil if any.
 
Theplas are ready.
You can store them for 1 day at room temperature. They will remain soft and can be enjoyed with tea or at lunch or dinner time with any vegetable/pickle of your choice.
 
Happy Eating. Enjoy and don’t forget to send your feedbacks.
