METHI ROTI/ THEPLA - THEPLAS RECIPE

                  This is also one of the recipes,that I got from my friend Sangeeta and tried.It tasted great. This is the first time I am trying and I liked it very much.

     

Ingredients:

Wheat flour	1 1/2 cup
Methi leaves	3/4 cup
Sambhar powder – Replace with red chilli powder,coriander powder	1 1/2 tsp
Garam masala powder	3/4 tsp
Turmeric Powder	1/4 tsp
Jeera	1 tsp
Salt	As needed
Oil	3-4 tbsps
Butter milk	As needed

Method:

1. Remove the methi leaves from its stem,clean it and chop it coarsely.Fry the wet leaves in a kadai with little oil,just till it reduces in volume.

    2. Add the sautéed leaves,salt,turmeric,garam masala powder,sambhar powder,jeera and oil and mix well. Add required butter milk to make a soft dough,just like we make for roti/chappathis. 
3.  Make equal sized balls and roll to thin rotis.Heat a tava,sprinkle little oil and just toast the rotis like we usually do for chapathis.
4.Serve with any simple raitha or simply with curd and pickle.
I served with boondi raita and mango thokku! Tasted great!
               
Note:

Adding oil and buttermilk adds extra softness to the rotis. Sautéing the methi leaves enhances the flavor and cut down the bitterness of the leaves. Stays soft for longer time and also doesn't gets spoiled soon,so ideal for travelling. Rolling as thin as possible makes it very perfect!
