Thepla is a soft and thin Indian flatbread recipe from Gujarat region. It is typically served as a breakfast as a side meal or snack with tea. Thepla can be made with wheat flour, gram flour, and other spices. To make thepla softer, add curd while kneading. You can enjoy thepla with curd, garlic chutney and chhundo. The various type theplas are created by varying the stuffing ingredients. Common ingredients for theplas are fenugreek (methi), Lauki (gourd), and mooli (redish). Even you can grated potatoes, mixed vegetables also for more variations. But traditional thepla is methi thepla.
To make thepla, you have to just knead the chappati dough with flour, ghee, grated mooli and spices. Chapatis are an everyday food, cooked on a griddle usually without an oil or ghee and often puffed up by cooking on open flame after taking it off the flame, some ghee is spread on the top. When made for travel, the flour for theplas is bound into a stiff dough using milk instead of water, and with extra ghee/oil. This is done in order to increase their shelf life.
