Instructions

1: Place the chapatti flour in a basin and mix in salt, turmeric powder, and sesame seeds.

2: Add dried/fresh fenugreek with oil and mix well.

3: Add a little hot water into the homemade garlic & chilli powder paste and mix it into the flour.

4: Gradually add hot water while mixing and kneading the dough until soft, ensuring all ingredients are incorporated.

5: Heat the griddle on high heat. Make small balls/patties of dough, coating them generously in chapatti flour. Roll out into circles.

6: Lower the heat to medium, add a touch of oil to the griddle, and place the thepla on it. Add oil to the edges. Cook for 30 seconds and then flip, spreading a touch of oil on top. Cook for an additional 30 seconds and flip once more, cooking for another 20 seconds.

7: Once the thepla is cooked through evenly with dark brown spots, remove from the griddle and pair with spicy bean curry, spicy masala sweetcorn curry, or your favorite pickle.
