Instructions
 

Step 1: Knead The Dough

  • Add all the ingredients to a large bowl. Mix well. Gradually add water and bind the dough into a soft dough. Apply a teaspoon of oil, cover, and let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes.

Step 2: Roll The Methi Thepla

  • You will need a chakla belan
    Knead the dough again for a minute. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions, and shape it into balls. Keep it aside.
  • Take a ball, and dust it with some flour. Place the ball on a rolling surface, with the help of a rolling pin, roll the ball into a 7-8 inch circle.

Step 3: Cook The Methi Thepla

  • You will need Tawa or griddle
  • Heat the Tawa / Griddle. Place the rolled thepla on the tawa, and cook it over medium heat.
  • Drizzle some Ghee/oil as needed and cook on both sides. Gently press the thepla with a spatula for even cooking.
  • Place the thepla in a food warmer lined with a paper towel or a tea towel.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
  • Enjoy multigrain methi thepla with pickle or jam, and a cup of piping hot chai!
  • Methi Thepla can be relished with pickle, yogurt, chutney, jam, or a piping hot cup of tea.

  3. Multigrain Methi Thepla Variations
  • Lauki Thepla - grate one small lauki (bottle gourd), about 2 cups. Add to the dough along with other ingredients. The important thing to note here is that lauki releases a lot of moisture. Do not keep the dough for a long time.
  • Mooli Thepla - simple, rustic flavor, mooli thepla is yet another winner. Use a small grated mooli, about 2 cups to prepare the dough. Like lauki, mooli releases a lot of moisture. Do not keep the dough for very long. I like to add some garam masala to the mooli thepla for that extra flavor.
  • Veggies Thepla - veggies like cabbage, carrot, and beetroot, add a nice color and flavor to thepla. Simply grate the veggies finely and add them to the dough.
  • Leafy Greens Thepla - or green thepla. Leafy greens like spinach, amaranth leaves, kale, and swiss chard, all are a great addition to this multigrain methi thepla. Finely chop the spinach and add it along with freshly chopped methi to bind the dough. For kale and swiss chard, first, blanch the greens. Chop and add the blanched veggies to prepare the dough.
  • Mint Thepla - skip the methi and add fresh mint leaves to make mint thepla. You can use about 2 tablespoons of dried mint leaves.
  • Kasuri Methi Thepla - Fresh methi leaves can be replaced with dried fenugreek leaves known as Kasuri methi. Add about 2 tablespoons of dried Kasuri methi to make the dough.
  • Tofu Thepla - use some soft, tofu to bind the dough. Adds a lot of protein, and makes it quite filling.
