The subtle bitterness of fenugreek, combined with a medley of spices, creates a unique and satisfying culinary experience. Methi Thepla is not only a delicious accompaniment to various Indian dishes but also a versatile snack that can be enjoyed on its own or with yogurt, pickles, or chutneys.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour

- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 green chili, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder

Steps:
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, gram flour, chopped fenugreek leaves, yogurt, grated ginger, chopped green chili, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and salt.
- Gradually add water and knead the ingredients into a smooth, pliable dough. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
