AuthorPooja SundariaCategoryBreakfast, Healthy, Indian Bread, LunchMethi thepla, a Gujrati style flatbread made with fresh fenugreek and whole wheat flour by adding few spices - a most lovable Gujrati dish. It is a soft paratha with different texture and aroma. These theplas are easy to store for a few days and amazing food for travel. Using methi or fresh fenugreek leaves into these parathas not just enhances the flavour but also loaded with nutrition.
It is a good way to feed leafy greens to your little one and perfect for lunch box also. Also adding a little bit of sour yogurt or curd and chickpea flour into the dough make these parathas soft yet mildly crispy. Or if you want them soft and melt in the mouth skip adding chickpea flour into the dough.
Methi thepla is cooked every day in Gujrati cuisine. My mum also used to make these theplas a lot for us. So, it's kind of a memory of home for me but here it's not possible to find these little leaves of happiness. So I have grown fenugreek in my kitchen garden.
Methi thepla it is not just paratha, it's a feeling, delicious, healthy and power-packed snacks, easy to carry. Thin and soft healthy theplas are very light also. You and your loved one can enjoy any time with pickle or boondi raita. These are aromatic fenugreek flatbread is the staple food and you can enjoy with your hot cup of tea as well.
