Authentic Gujrathi Methi Thepla Recipe

Try out this authentic gujrathi Methi Thepla recipe. Thepla is a paratha made from wheat flour and fenugreek leaves that you can have for any meals. Theplas go well with any pickle or curd or you can even enjoy them by themselves and are thus the favourite and most convenient foods when travelling. They are also perfect for lunch boxes.

Growing up in a gujarati household this is what my mom used to make for me for lunch boxes and even when we used to travel we would carry enough to last us for few days. Even now when my parents are traveling to a new place or country they carry these theplas with them. Not only that, my friends and family always send hundreds of theplas if someone is traveling abroad as you can store them in the freezer and they can last you for good many weeks.
