📝 Ingredients for Thepla Recipe

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour

  • 1/2 cup fresh fenugreek (methi) leaves, finely chopped

  • 2 tbsp curd (yogurt)

  • 1 tsp ginger-garlic-green chilli paste

  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder

  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder

  • 1/2 tsp coriander powder

  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

  • Salt to taste

  • 1-2 tbsp oil (for kneading)

🥣 How to Make Thepla – Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, mix whole wheat flour, chopped methi leaves, spices, curd, sesame seeds, salt, and 1-2 tbsp oil. Gradually add water and knead a soft, smooth dough. Let it rest for 10–15 minutes.

Step 2: Roll the Theplas

Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each into a smooth ball and flatten it. Roll out into thin, round discs using a rolling pin. Dust lightly with dry flour if needed.

Step 3: Cook the Theplas

Heat a tawa (griddle). Place the rolled thepla on it and cook both sides using a little oil or ghee until golden brown spots appear and it is fully cooked.
