Methi Thepla-Gujrati Style


Ingredients:

1 cup finely chopped methi/fenugreek leaves
9-10 tblsp wheat flour
3-4 tblsp crushed jaggery
1/4 tblsp chilly powder
1/4 or less tblsp turmeric powder (haldi)
1 tblsp white sesame seeds
4 tblsp yogurt
2 tblsp oil
1 tblsp jeera
Butter or ghee for roasting


Method

1) Heat 1 1/2 tblsp oil in a pan. Add jeera and methi leaves.
2) After 2 mins add chilly powder, jaggery, haldi and salt.
3) Once the jaggery melts, turn off the gas. Add yogurt and sesame seeds to the methi mixture.
4) Add 1 tblsp of oil and wheat flour. Knead it to a soft dough.
5) Make balls out of the dough and roll it into thin chapatis.
6) Heat the pan. Place the thepla in the pan. As it cooks, the dough will change color. Turn the thepla. You should see golden brown spots on the semi cooked side. Spread ghee/butter over it
7)Turn it and apply ghee/butter on the other side. Remove it. Dont over cook it or the thepla will become crispy.

Note: 1) You can freeze the dough and use it the next day.
