Methi Thepla is a traditional Gujarati flatbread made with fresh fenugreek leaves (methi), whole wheat flour, and a blend of spices. It’s a popular breakfast or snack item in India, especially in the state of Gujarat. Here’s a description:

Methi Thepla is characterized by its soft texture and robust flavor. Fresh fenugreek leaves are finely chopped and mixed with whole wheat flour, along with spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili powder. Sometimes, additional ingredients such as yogurt, besan (gram flour), or sesame seeds are added to the dough to enhance its taste and texture.

The dough is then kneaded into a smooth consistency using water or yogurt and rolled out into thin, round discs. These discs are cooked on a hot griddle or tawa with a little oil or ghee until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Methi Thepla can be enjoyed hot off the griddle or at room temperature. It pairs well with a variety of accompaniments such as yogurt, pickle, chutney, or even a hot cup of chai. Its flavorful blend of spices and the slight bitterness of fenugreek leaves make it a delightful and nutritious snack option that’s both filling and satisfying.
