Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup finely chopped fresh fenugreek leaves, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp red chili powder, 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1 tsp ginger paste, and 1 tsp salt. Mix well.
  2. Step 2: Add 2 tbsp oil and gradually add about 3/4 cup water little by little, kneading to form a soft but firm dough. Cover and rest for 15 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Divide the dough into 8 equal balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin 7-inch round.
  4. Step 4: Heat a flat skillet or tawa over medium-high heat. Place one rolled thepla on the skillet and cook for 1 minute until small bubbles form. Flip and brush with oil. Cook for another minute until golden spots appear. Flip again, brush oil on this side, and cook for 30 seconds. Remove and keep warm. Repeat with remaining dough.
