Chef’s Tip:

Preparation


Marinating the Carrots

1

Grate the carrots

Grate the carrots and place them in a bowl.

2

Mix with salt and lemon juice

Add salt and lemon juice, mixing well.

3

Rest the carrots

Set aside for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Preparing the Methi Thepla Dough

1

Combine dry ingredients

In a large bowl, combine fenugreek leaves, flours, red chili powder, turmeric, and salt.

2

Add wet ingredients

Add yogurt and oil, mixing to form a crumbly mixture.

A touch of oil while kneading enhances the softness of the thepla.

3

Form dough

Gradually add water, kneading to make a smooth dough. Let it rest for 20 minutes.

Avoid adding too much water to the thepla dough—it should be firm yet pliable.

Cooking Process


1

Roll the Theplas

Divide dough into small balls, roll each into thin rounds using a rolling pin.

2

Heat the Griddle

Preheat a non-stick tava or griddle on medium heat.

3

Cook the Theplas

Cook each thepla on the griddle until brown spots appear, flipping and applying oil on both sides.

Never leave hot oil unattended. Keep a lid nearby …
