Yummy methi sesame thepla








We were in Nadiad, a small city in Gujarat between two metropolitan cities of Ahmedabad and Baroda. There I learnt a few gujrati recipes from the local ladies over there. Handvo, dhokla, khakra, Gujarati style kadi, ladoos, thepla and other fried snacks.

  I really liked the handvo, dhokla and thepla. As Gujarati are very fond of going on vacations. They carry these homemade food items with them. Out of these theplas are very good to carry as packed food. These are highly nutritious.
We can have them as snack or mini meal also. The fried farsan (snacks) are also nice. We can have them once in a while. 
As these can wreak havoc in our system if we eat them daily. Dhokla, handvo and Khandvi are light on stomach as these are steamed food articles. Theplas are shallow fried.
As we know India is a diverse country with different traditions, customs, culture, dresses and food. So we must try different food and dresses of our culturally rich country.

Thepla Recipe-








Ingredients-

  • Wheat flour- 1 cup
  • Bajra flour-1/2 cup
  • Jowar flour -¼ cup
  • Methi leaves-1 cup
  • Sesame seeds- 2tb spoon
  • Salt, red chilly powder- acc. To taste

    •  Method-


    Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Knead the dough with lukewarm water. The dough should not be too tight or loose. Make round chapattis. Shallow fry on hot tava. Enjoy hot theplas guys with pickle, mint or coriander chutney and curd. Theplas are rich in fibre, iron, vitamin E, vitamin A, essential fatty acids, potassium, calcium etc.They have great satiety value.
