Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 cup Fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Ghee or oil for cooking
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, finely chopped methi leaves, Greek yogurt, ginger paste, turmeric powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, and salt.
Add sesame seeds and olive oil to the mixture, and start kneading it into a dough. Gradually add water as needed to form a smooth and pliable dough. Adjust the amount of water if required.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Place a dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper and gently roll it out into a thin, round Thepla using a rolling pin. Ensure it is not too thick to cook evenly.
Heat a non-stick tava or a flat skillet over medium heat.
Carefully place the rolled-out Thepla on the hot skillet. Cook on one side for about 2-3 minutes until you see bubbles forming.
Apply a few drops of ghee or oil and flip the Thepla. Cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown spots appear.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Serve hot with a side of yogurt or your favorite low-carb chutney.
