Methi Thepla


Ingredients:

1 cup finely chopped Fenugreek Leaves
1/2 cup Wheat Flour
2 tbsp plain Yogurt
1/2 tsp Cumin seeds
1/4 tsp Carom Seeds
1 tsp Cumin Powder
1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
1/2 tsp Red Chili Powder
2 to 3 Green Chilies, finely chopped
1 tsp Oil
salt to taste

Method:
1) In a mixing bowl, add chopped Methi leaves and 1/2 tsp salt. smash with hands for about a minute. Cover the bowl and rest aside for 15 minutes. Crumbling Methi leaves with some salt will make Methi leaves little mushy and watery. Therefore you wont need to add more water while kneading dough.
2) Add Cumin seeds, Carom Seeds, Cumin powder, Turmeric, Red CHili powder and green chilies to mashed Methi leaves. Now mix well. Add yogurt and salt to taste. Add Wheat flour spoonful at a time. Incorporate all wheat flour, knead nicely and make a dough. If the dough is little dry, add 1 tbsp Yogurt and knead. Do not add water to make the dough little moist.
Put this dough in a greased bowl and cover with damp cloth or any plate to avoid drying for about 1/2 an hour.
3) After 1/2 an hour, knead the dough well and make 4 to 5 equal balls. heat a griddle or Tawa. Roll the dough balls into thin and flat round disc. Cook each Thepla over hot Tawa. Apply some oil and roast both sides of Thepla.
Serve hot with Green Chutney or Garlic Spicy Chutney
