Blog Name : Saisuprabaatham Hotel

Ingredients:  

1 Bunch of Methi : cleaned, washed
n chopped finely- Rougly 1 cup
2 Cups of Wheat flour
1 tsp Turmeric
1 tsp Chilli powder or 2 Green chilli
crushed ( Optional)
3/4-1 tsp Cumin Powder
1/2 tsp Ajwain
1/2 tsp Asfoetida/Hing
Salt to taste
3/4 -1 Cup Yogurt
1 tbsp.Oil
More Oil for cooking the thepla’s

Method:

1. In a large dry mixing bowl, add the wheat flour also known as Aata and other dry. Make a large deep dip in the middle of the flour and now add yogurt. If the yogurt is quite thick, dilute it with 1/4th portion of water.
2. Knead the dough for atleast 2 minutes until all the flour and yogurt has combined. Add the oil on your palm and let it drip over the dough to. Doing this helps to remove the sticky dough off your hand, as you knead the dough for another 5 minutes. Set it aside for at least 30 
minutes. I have used an Ikea Cup for measurement. This dough yields me 24-26 thepla’s.
3. Make small equal portions of the dough in the size of a ping pong ball. I would portion the dough in a size that fits inside my palm. A size similar to the size of chapatti dough.
4. Lightly oil your palm and pinch out small 5-6 equal sized dough balls.
5. Taking one dough ball at a time,Flatten these balls with your palm, dust with whole wheat flour and roll out 5-6 inches. If the dough begins to stick, dust some more flour and roll out.
6. Cook the thepla on a tava/skillet, until the dough changes color and looks dry. Flip it over, using a spatula and you should find it slightly golden brown.Apply few drops of oil and cook it all the way through by gently pressing with the spatula on either side.
7. Repeat the process with the rest of the dough. As you make the thepla’s ,store them in a casserole to keep it soft and warm.Serve the hot theplas with aloo jeera,yogurt and pickle.When you are serving your little ones, just roll it in a tissue and give it to them or serve it with some ketchup and yogurt.
