METHI ROTI/THEPLA

                  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.

Methi roti/thepla

     

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. 

All ingredients Mixed well Made dough

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!
