Methi thepla
My all time concern is to give the kids healthy and home cooked food.And the common roti I prepare often for them and us is Methi thepla.I was introduced to this flat bread after my marriage when I was in Mumbai,my mama in law used to prepare tasty thepla’s. Thepla’s are very convenient to carry during travel.It is a staple food of Gujarat.But no one can beat the Gujrathi’s in the making of thepla.I prepare thepla s with different variations.This time I tried Sanjeev Kapoor’s version which I came across in his cookery book.In this recipe banana is added and the theplas turned super soft.Thepla’s can stay upto 3-4 days without refrigeration.I still remember the days when we used to carry store bought theplas from Mumbai to Mangalore which they used to pack with green chilly thecha.I prepared Mushroom tikka masala as the combination.
